More than 800 million people in the world are currently suffering of hunger and poverty. Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest prevalence of hunger. One person in four is undernourished, according to the World Food Program. Hunger affects everyone, from individuals to businesses in the food industry. Today is World Hunger Day and to raise awareness of the scale of the issue, Hellofood has challenged its community to help people #ScareHunger away by going out to areas such as Ebutte Meta and Makoko, in Lagos were people can’t even afford a day meal and will offer them a delicacy from one of our major vendors, we intend talking to them to see what we can do to help the society at large.
Since yesterday, Hellofood has been asking its community how they scare hunger away, sharing funny and serious ideas with them to discuss this important issue. What can be the solution? Shouting? Calling your mum? Dress up like a ghost?
According to Hellofood, the best way to scare hunger is… food.
“Considering the immense importance of this issue in Africa, we wanted to offer our users an easy way to contribute. We hope this will raise awareness, improve the public knowledge and spread the word about world hunger”,commented Guilluame Leblond the MD at Hellofood.
