Raffle Summary
📢 A SUBSTACK CHARITY RAFFLE FUNDRAISER Full details here, please read: https://leylakazim.substack.com/p/practical-action-raffle I'm Leyla Kazim, a BBC presenter, journalist and writer and I am the proud ambassador for the incredible development charity Practical Action (https://practicalaction.org/). They build sustainable lives and livelihoods with people on the frontlines of poverty and climate change. Most of their extremely important and global work is done through women and so to celebrate International Women's Day on 8th March and raise money for their vital work, I’m running this raffle. The prizes are: Annual subscriptions to 🌟52🌟 of the biggest and brightest bestselling newsletters on Substack! Collectively, these writers have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and the retail price for these subscriptions is in the thousands! The topics of these 52 different newsletters are hugely diverse, including food and drink, culture, writing, gardening, comedy, history, travel, science, parenthood, poetry, social commentary, art, books and more - take a look at the full list further down. 📢 WHAT WE'RE ASKING FROM YOU We want this raffle to raise as much money as possible for Practical Action.

Your name will also be listed on the raffle! And you will have our gratitude forever. 📢 WHAT PRACTICAL ACTION DO They believe that where there’s action, there’s hope. That's why they work with communities to find solutions that work for them, from climate-smart agriculture to renewable energy. And because women are often the hardest hit by poverty and climate change, they focus on working with them so they can lead the way. Together they are proving that innovation and cooperation can conquer any challenge. You can take a look at some of their projects.
