Join the fight against hunger

The world produces enough food for everyone. Yet, every six seconds a child dies from hunger. It doesn’t have to be this way. YOU can help make hunger history. Join our movement and raise money to fight hunger in 25 of the world’s poorest countries.

From now until November 30, TAKE PART AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR A TEAM and choose one (or more!) of these actions:

EAT LESS FOOD: Give up food for a day or skip a meal and ask family and friends to sponsor you. Better still, form a team and do it together!
EAT MORE FOOD: Host an event or dinner party. Ask guests to donate to your fundraising page.
GIVE A LITTLE OR A LOT: Either way you will save lives by making a donation.

To begin, click ‘Create a fundraising page’. Raise the most money over $10,000 and you and a friend will get the chance to visit one of our programs overseas.

Your support will:

CONCERN’S WORK IN ACTION

In the short term, our emergency programs provide food, water, and other vital supplies to the most vulnerable people. Children, pregnant, and breastfeeding women are also treated for severe malnutrition through our health programs.

To end hunger we focus on helping people break out of the cycle of poverty. We invest in basic education to provide children with the skills they’ll need to earn a decent living. Livelihood programs help small farmers earn an income, and grow and manage their own food supplies. And our nutrition programs ensure that people aren’t just eating any food, but the right kind of food.

Together, we can make a big impact.
