A South African initiative is planning on feeding 100 000 people this World Food Day!
South Africa – Imagine feeding 100 000 people… well Brownie Points has partnered up with The Do More Foundation to do just that on World Food Day.
16 October is World Food Day, one of the most celebrated days on the UN calendar. Hundreds of events and outreaches across 150 countries bring governments, businesses, NGOs, the media and public together to take action against hunger. World Food Day promotes worldwide awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and for the need to ensure healthy diets for all.
With the current economic climate and the cost of living rising at a staggering rate, many low-income families are struggling to feed their children effectively. With the rise of unemployment, the risk of children going hungry is even higher. Children need good nutrition to focus at school so if one is lacking, the other surely will too.
The Do More Foundation has set an ambitious goal to make 100 000 sandwiches to feed 100 000 mouths.
The Do More Foundation has partnered up with Brownie Points a digital volunteering platform that helps caring citizens take part in meaningful causes. Brownie Points provides NGOs like The Do More Foundation with a dashboard that makes it easy for organisations to empower people, NPOs and companies to host activations, while engaging, tracking and reporting on the engagement and impact.
Do More Foundation already have over 280 volunteers signed up with some of their corporate partners committing to around 2000 staff collectively to achieve the goal of making 100 000 sandwiches.
They have set up three public events for anyone to get involved and help make this ambitious goal a reality. Take a look at the 3 locations and sign up as a volunteer or help create awareness about #Zerohunger by sharing these activations.
