MORE ON CONCEPT
The 40-Hour Famine has been held in World Vision countries world wide as a major awareness raising and fund raising activity for many years.
Day after day grinding poverty deprives millions of people throughout the world of the essentials of a decent life. Whilst the world has abundant resources to meet the basic human needs for nutritious food, clean water, shelter, healthcare, education and the means to earn a living, millions of people do not have a fair share of these resources.
The World Vision 40-Hour Famine is one way in which you can help start to change this uneven balance in our country. Our children are the hope of our future – the light in a dark world. Yet many of them are walking in a dark world, walking alone, afraid and often hungry. With help gained from funds raised in the World Vision 40-Hour Famine our children can have a real future ahead of them.
But we need your help…
