🌐 Sustainable Development Goal 2 aims to achieve "zero hunger". It is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. 🍽️ Food Banks not only fight food waste and poverty, they also fight hunger. Hunger is still prevalent in Europe, more than one might think. 🧡In 2023, FEBA supported 12.8 million deprived people with the help of charitable organisations and countless individuals and volunteers that are active in the foodbanking network. 💚 We want to highlight some of their work today in an effort to raise awareness that fighting hunger is also an aspect of every Food Banks’ activity.

Starke Ayres, in collaboration with Food & Trees for Africa, envisions a future where access to abundant #nutritious #food grown #sustainably is not just an aspiration but an essential #humanright met in our society. The current reality however indicates that in 2021, one in every five South Africans experienced hunger, constituting 20.2% of the population, with the United Nations projecting further increases globally. A thriving society relies on the health and fulfilment of its individuals, beginning with the support of their fundamental human rights. Community food gardens offer a simple yet effective means of meeting these needs, representing a national imperative to enhance #foodsecurity and restore urban #biodiversity. To support FTFA's mission, Starke Ayres donates seed packs year-round, enabling hundreds of food gardens across the country to fortify food systems and provide livelihoods for diverse farmers. We take pride in our partnership's contribution to tangible improvements in food security, empowering communities to cultivate their own sustenance. Add to the impact by donating to FTFA: https://bit.ly/3uZNfuK #StarkeAyres #FoodAndTreesForAfrica #SeedsOfSuccess

The World Food Programme (#WFP) is proud to work with around 1,000 non-governmental organizations (#NGOs) around the globe, from small grassroots groups to large international #humanitarianagencies. Without this #collaboration, our efforts to bring much-needed #assistance to 152 million people in over 120 countries would not be possible. Without the vocal support of these organizations, our efforts to put #zerohunger at the top of the international agenda would be far less successful. NGOs are at our side in many programme settings, from #fooddistributions in #emergencies to longer-term initiatives such as #schoolmeals and #assetcreation. In fact, three-quarters of our #food and #cashbasedtransfers are delivered together with NGOs. In #partnership, we combine complementary strengths and expertise with the common goal of achieving zero hunger. To learn more, please read: https://lnkd.in/dAJJzNuy

“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.” —Nelson Mandela Agenda - The house believes that food shortage in third world countries is a by-product of colonialistic greed and repression of natives, hence first world countries must harbour responsibility and solve this global issue. Achieving zero hunger by 2050 is our commitment to universal access to nutritious food year-round. It involves sustainable agriculture, fair distribution, and resilient communities, uniting nations to tackle hunger and promote inclusive growth. Through initiatives like Sustainable Development Goal 2, we mobilize resources to make this vision a reality globally. We are honoured to present to you our Sixth room conference “Zero Hunger” For Admissions Enquiry - https://lnkd.in/daBy7vSp #APSKYouthConference #MarineConservation #GhostGear #MarineDebris #EnvironmentalAwareness #YouthForOceans #Sustainability #OceanHealth #EnvironmentalProtection #allenhousepublicachoolkhalasilines #sustainablegoals

🌱 Empowering Farmers in Ghana: The Success of the Grow Ghana Initiative In response to the challenges faced by farmers due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which impacted access to affordable fertilisers across Africa, Yara swiftly responded with the Grow Ghana Initiative. Yara Ghana donated premium fertilisers valued at USD 20 million to smallholder farmers, reducing their cost per acre by 33.3% and increasing food system resilience. 👨🌾👩🌾 This initiative has not only tackled immediate challenges but also created sustainable impacts. Over 500 youth have gained employment opportunities, and farmers have received vital agronomic knowledge to boost productivity. This holistic approach has contributed to agricultural #sustainability, #prosperity, and security in Ghana. 💚 To mark the closure of the initiative, Yara Ghana recently donated 3,800 bags of YaraMila Actyva fertiliser across the country. This donation supports the livelihoods of the Ghana Prisons Service, women farmers, youth in agriculture, and people living with disabilities, enhancing food production across the nation. 🌍 At Yara Africa & Asia, we continue to empower communities and drive sustainable agriculture forward – Growing for a Nature-Positive Food Future. 🌾 #NaturePositive #GrowGhana

🌍✨ Transforming Lives, One Drop at a Time ✨🌊 Meet Nermine Khouzam Rubin, the driving force behind Water 4 Mercy's mission to bring sustainable water solutions to African villages. In a recent interview, Nermine discusses her inspiring journey and the innovative steps she's taken to make her project economically feasible. Born in Egypt, Nermine moved to the U.S. at a young age, carrying a passion for helping others. The turning point came during a special mother-daughter trip to Tanzania, where she witnessed the unintended consequences of traditional aid. Determined to make a real impact, Nermine founded Water 4 Mercy in 2018 with a focus on breaking the cycle of dependency. Understanding the vital role of water, Nermine collaborated with organizations like Innovation: Africa and CultivAid. The key was not just providing water but empowering local communities to manage their resources sustainably. The heart of the project lies in decentralized knowledge, stability, and private ownership. With a clear understanding of property rights and a commitment to local autonomy, Water 4 Mercy ensures that economic growth becomes self-sustaining within 2.5 to 3 years. The Results Speak Louder Than Words: ✅ Crop production has soared, leading to healthier communities. ✅ Local businesses, like brick-making, have emerged, boosting economic prosperity. ✅ Children now attend school, families eat better, and everyone enjoys the fruits of their labor with dignity. How Can You Make a Difference? 🌟 Join Nermine in her mission by supporting Water 4 Mercy. Every dollar counts in bringing clean water, agricultural training, and economic independence to villages in Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, and beyond. 💧🌐 Let's Build Sustainable Futures Together! Donate Now: water4mercy.org 🌐💙 #Water4Mercy #SustainableDevelopment #CleanWater #EmpowerCommunities #TransformingLives #EconomicEmpowerment #DonateToday
