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!
