AS PEOPLE all around the globe go without basic meals and dietary requirements, a movement is at work to eradicate world poverty for good and a Warwick teenager is on the frontline making a major sacrifice to do her part.

Catilyn Meiklejohn, 16, will attempt to get through next week, living on just $10 worth of food, that's only $2 a day.

Her meal plan consists of just dry bread for breakfast and lunch and a simple spaghetti bolognaise for dinner.

All in the name of the Live Below The Line Challenge.

Organised by the Oaktree Foundation, the Live Below The Line Challenge sees participants try to live like someone who is experiencing poverty might.

"It's all about raising awareness and of course funds," Caitlyn said.

"Next week from May 7 to 11, I'll be just one of thousands across the country taking part."

Caitlyn said she knew it would be tough going.

"I like to eat to, so this is going to be hard," she said.

"Especially watching my family eat their breakfast and dinner in front of me."

The money raised by the 2018 Live Below The Line Challenge will go specifically towards providing an education for girls and young women in Cambodia and Timor Leste.

"Education is a way to break the cycle of poverty," Caitlyn said.

"With an education these young women can find jobs or better jobs and this might mean less of a struggle to provide for their families.

"This is something I've always been really passionate about, helping those around the country and the world who are less fortunate."
