OUR HISTORY

In 2007, I heard that some children died of hunger in Sudan. I was shocked, not because I was born with a silver spoon – in fact, I think mine was a wooden spoon – but because I had never thought that people could die of hunger. I remembered those times that we went hungry because there was no food in the house.

That news sent reactions of sadness and anger down my spine – sad because of the occurrence and angry because the global food wastage in 2007 could fill almost 1.4bn hectares (about £570bn) according to the Food and Agricultural Organisation (2013). This meant that majority of us humans were in the habit of food wastage and didn’t even spare a thought for the hungry.

I vowed I was going to feed and empower the hungry,

My dream is a world where no one dies again of hunger. organisation geared towards ending malnutrition and the provision of humanitarian assistance.
