The Famine is a movement of youth who are passionate about fighting hunger-- they call themselves “hunger-fighters”. They come together and raise money to help hungry children and their families-- it’s that simple!

In the Philippines, the 12-hour Famine is the biggest youth movement against hunger. Famine participants learn about hunger, raise funds to help hungry kids, and experience hunger for themselves for 12 straight hours!

Millions of children and families in the country suffer from hunger and malnutrition every day. Joining the Famine is your chance to do something real to make lifelong change possible for these people. It doesn’t require too much, just your willingness to help.

Every peso raised can be life changing not only for the hungry but for you, too.

Today, the Famine has spread globally. Young people around the world have raised millions of dollars to help fight hunger and poverty where these are felt the most. The Philippines is only one of many countries doing the Famine.
