In order to help raise awareness of, and funds for, VSO we have launched our “Donate a day’s pay” campaign. We’ve based the campaign on our daily rate of pay 70 Nakfa (£2.50) and all funds raised will go directly to VSO and then will be made available for use by VSO volunteers in Eritrea for various development projects.

Please go to the VSO donation page and ensure that you type ‘Ben and Kathryn Holme’ in the comments section. This will help staff at VSO London to identify the amount of funds to be allocated to projects in Eritrea.

What would an Eritrean day's salary buy in Asmara?

Many thanks for your interest in our campaign.

Ben and Kathryn
