An empowering and sustainable end to world hunger and poverty

I have committed to fundraise $1,200 for The Hunger Project as part of the Victorian Leadership Immersion Program.

I am really passionate about The Hunger Project because they see people living in hunger as the solution not the problem. They focus on shifting the mindsets of women and men so they transform into leaders for the sustainable end of hunger. The Hunger Project breaks cyclical top down, aid driven charity models that perpetuate the cycle of dependency and treating the cause, not the symptoms, in order to create an enabling environment for change. I am asking you to join me in the sustainable end of hunger by helping me reach my $1,200 target. 

A donation of $60 could provide a microfinance loan for a budding female entrepreneur in a rural village. This is enough to purchase a pig to farm or to start a business in sewing or hairdressing to bring in a sustainable income for their family. 

Your tax-deductible donation will go a long way to help end hunger and poverty. Thank you for your support.
