Become a Concern Hunger Hero Today

 
 
 
  • Poverty means not having enough money for basic needs such as food, drinking water, shelter, or toiletries.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have pushed between 143 and 163 million people into poverty in 2021.
  • People of all backgrounds, beliefs and social origins come together every year on October 17 to renew their commitment and show their solidarity with the poor.
  • Honour the victims of extreme poverty, violence and hunger.
  • The world has made huge strides in overcoming global poverty. Since 1990, more than 1.2 billion people have risen out of extreme poverty. Now, 9.2% of the world survives on less than $1.90 a day, compared to nearly 36% in 1990.
