Tearfund’s Poverty Cycle challenges Kiwis to get fit, have fun and make a difference! Move with us from the 1—14 of June and raise money to help the 4.8 million people still trapped in forced commercial sexual exploitation around the world.
How it works
The money you raise will enable Tearfund’s partners to work in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities to bring freedom to those trapped in modern slavery.

What are the rules?
Know your limits
When choosing your challenge, it is imperative you’re aware of your own limits and make wise decisions about what you’re able to achieve. That way, you’ll stay safe AND be able to smash your goals!
Stay hydrated. Eat well.
We can’t emphasise enough the importance of keeping yourself hydrated throughout the challenge month and eating regular meals that energise and strengthen your body.

Tell your people
We achieve more together than alone, so get your support crew on board! Tell them why you’re doing this challenge, and why they should donate to your cause.

Make a team
This year we’re challenging you to get together with a group of friends (or workmates, church group, hobby group, etc) and make your Poverty Cycle challenge a team venture.
Simply set up your team when you register for the challenge online. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll be able to add your team details, set a fundraising target, and send the link out for other friends to join.
Don’t forget to track your success – your individual totals will be counted as part of the team total.
