Ration Challenge 2020

Thousands of people across Australia have taken the Ration Challenge – eating the same rations as a Syrian refugee for 7 days to raise money which will provide emergency food, hygiene kits and life-saving support to the people who need it most. Together they have raised nearly $2,000,000 to support refugees and other conflict and disaster affected communities around the world hit hardest by the coronavirus.
