Dear John,

We live in a world where far too many people struggle to enjoy the kind of health, security and prosperity that some take for granted. If we want to make the world healthier and more prosperous, we need to go further than international development organisations have traditionally.

Today we launch our Going Further Appeal, alongside our sister charity Find Your Feet, so we can address both the causes and symptoms of poverty and ill-health.

Together with community leaders, health workers and activists around the world, Health Poverty Action and Find Your Feet are going to places that other international development organisations rarely do.

Together, we’re ensuring that people living in isolated communities can receive treatment for serious illnesses and support so they can make a living.

And together, we’re confronting the difficult issues that force people to live in poverty and ill-health. Whether working to protect tribal people’s land rights or exposing unfair trade arrangements that leave countries struggling to support themselves.

Please give to our winter appeal and stand with people across the world as they build healthier and more prosperous lives for all.

• £22 could pay for one radio broadcast to raise awareness of community issues

• £75 could cover the cost for an expert from the Global South to participate in a workshop on key issues around poverty and health

• £188 could pay a month’s salary for a social worker who ensures the most vulnerable and marginalised community members get the support they need

Yours sincerely,

Siaffa Bunduka
Supporter Engagement Manager
