Our first Sling Session was a success, thanks to you all! Last week we held a Lunch 'n' Build in Nairobi, Kenya, where people could come chat with our team, share a meal together, give feedback on Sling Money, and work on their own projects. We had a great turnout and can't wait for the next Sling Session! 👩💻 Thank you alx_africa and ALX Kenya!

"Did you know that players of People's Postcode Lottery help support projects led by our partners to tackle the climate crisis and stand up for women's rights?"
In Kenya, some of this work is made possible through projects led by Oxfam's partner IREMO. In 2023 Kenya experienced its worst drought in forty years. In the village of Marsabit, 80% of their livestock have died. Yet with funding raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery and support of Oxfam partner IREMO, women like Butha have been able to develop the business skills they need to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
