From food demontrations in local communities to national radio interviews, 2024 was a powerful year for World Hunger Day.
This year, Hunger Project community leaders and partners across 22 countries emphasized the crucial link between thriving mothers and a thriving world on May 28, World Hunger Day. The theme “Thriving Mothers, Thriving World” highlighted the pivotal role mothers play in fostering healthy, resilient communities and combating hunger.
Our partners shared their insights and success stories, demonstrating how empowering mothers can lead to significant improvements in food security, child nutrition and overall community well-being. Celebrations included food demonstrations, radio and television interviews, social media campaigns and interactive webinars that engaged stakeholders, other NGOs and the general public. These initiatives facilitated meaningful dialogues on sustainable strategies to support mothers and families, and underscored the importance of investing in maternal health as a cornerstone of creating a world without hunger.
World Hunger Day was founded by The Hunger Project in 2011 to mobilize thousands of individuals for the end of hunger. Since then, World Hunger Day has grown into a globally-recognized day of significance where hundreds of individuals, organizations, corporations and governments come together to highlight the importance of creating a world without hunger. This year, we are proud to share that the campaign reached an estimated 48 million people around the world. That is 48 million people who have been exposed to the idea that we can create a world without hunger!
