This campaign has now closed
This year, nearly 1 in 8 people have not had enough food to eat each day. Yet a hunger free world is possible. Our vision is a world where every person leads a healthy, fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity. This Christmas we’re inviting you to help bring us closer to ending world hunger.

Situation
Hunger is on the rise again, following a decade in decline. Gender inequality, climate change, war and COVID-19 have all played a devastating role in the hunger crisis we are now witnessing globally. In West Africa, the number of people living in hunger has quadrupled since the pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine is only making it worse. Across Africa, soaring prices of critical foods, like wheat, maize and cooking oils are forcing people to go without food.
Solution
The core of our work is the recognition and belief that people themselves - people living in conditions of hunger be it physical (illiteracy, malnourishment and subjugation) or mental (isolation, disconnection or resignation) - are the key resources in ending hunger. Our work in Africa, South Asia & Latin America is therefore based on an innovative approach, which empowers women and men living in rural villages to become the agents of their own development.
