Tuesday 28th May 2013 is World Hunger Day and Concern Worldwide are quite rightly celebrating sustainable solutions that will go a long way to ending extreme hunger and poverty. 875 million people across the globe are hungry right now, yet providing simple and effective solutions can help change this.
Concern gifts are such practical solutions. From piglets and goats to seeds and tools, families and communities can have the means to provide their own food. You can help tackle hunger by buying a Concern gift, which make great presents for friends and family. Here is a suggestion, but you can browse the wider range by clicking on the link at the bottom of the post.
A donation of just £15 offers a nutritious gift that supplies around 500 pineapple plants for a family like Mubiru Mburabwicho in the picture above. She was able to grow pineapple plants on her land in Kaisoko, Uganda. Now the plants are bearing fruit, and Mubiru sells the pineapples at local markets.
From this she earns vital extra cash to help feed her children, and because pineapples are easy to grow and sustain, Mubiru still has time to look after her other crops.
All Concern Worldwide gifts are selected especially because they will benefit people for the long term. So browse the Concern shop today and know that whatever gift you choose, you’ll be empowering people to provide for themselves both now and in the future.
