Raghav

Canadian singer Raghav took time out from his headlining performance at the Manchester Mela in July to give his support to our Make Poverty History Rakhi initiative.

Chart-topping Raghav said: “On Rakhi day, when we celebrate with our brothers and sisters, we should remember all our brothers and sisters around the world, many of whom live in poverty.

“Wearing Oxfam’s special Rakhi band shows solidarity for the Make Poverty History campaign, and I believe that it's important for people from every community to come together to fight poverty.

“I will definitely be buying one for Rakhi Day and encourage everyone to get their own.”
