This episode hit hard — plumber turned humanitarian Grant Chugg joins me to share how a simple “yes” changed his life and how you can help right now.
Highlights:
- Grant’s work with Villages of Life builds schools to give kids hope — not handouts.
- A picture he can’t forget: a little boy with a goat, eyes with no hope — and how education flipped that story.
- Urgent crisis: an estimated 50,000 people (mostly women and children) have fled the Congo into Burundi and need immediate help.
- One life-changing fact: a food + water package (15kg maize, 10kg beans, 20L water container) costs just AUD $25 and can feed a family of 6–8 for weeks. Grant has arranged for all donations to go through World Relief Australia and will cover the admin fee so 100% reaches people on the ground. I’ll also donate 80% of earnings from new loans I arrange to this cause.
Want to make an actual difference? Hear the full story, see how donations are delivered, and find the donation links in the show notes. We’re going in June — you’ll see photos and updates from the ground.
