Molly Reminds Us How Easy It Is To Make A Difference This World Food Day

This October 16th is World Food Day, an international day marking the challenge of hunger in the world and how together we can fight it. As the global community comes together to raise awareness about hunger, we could talk about how hunger is the world’s greatest solvable problem. We could talk about how it keeps kids from reaching their full potential or how solving it boosts economies and builds a more stable world. Instead, we’d like to tell you about one teenage girl we know. Her name is Molly.

The world’s youngest country turns one and looks to a hunger-free future

Join us in wishing happy birthday to South Sudan, the world’s youngest country. Just over a year ago, over 99% of the people who live in what is now South Sudan voted to become an independent country. The young nation’s first year has been filled with tremendous progress, such as developing a constitution and establishing the foundations for a new government.

Many families, however, still struggle to get enough food. Nearly half of the people living in South Sudan today experience hunger, severely limiting their ability to work, learn, and develop their country. Here at WFP Students we’re taking the occasion to reflect on how solving hunger will help the young nation continue to build a stronger, more resilient – and peaceful future. We’ve pulled together seven answers to questions about why there is a hunger crisis in South Sudan and the road ahead to the nation’s hunger-free future.

Inspired by Molly, Students in the UK Took on Hunger This World Food Day

Moved by one student’s story of hope in a slum of Nairobi, Kenya, students at the ACS Egham International School outside of London joined together to fight hunger this World Food Day October 16th by raising money for the World Food Programme (WFP). Encouraging classmates and the community to fill cups with change, they raised over £300 (US$481) to help fund WFP school lunches for young people around the world.
