Did you know? The right to food is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa under Section 27 (1) (b), which states that "everyone has the right to have access to sufficient food and water". Yet, on World Hunger Day, we confront the harsh reality of hunger in South Africa. In 2021, 2.1 million households (11.6%) faced hunger. Heartbreakingly, over half a million of these households include children under five. This is an urgent humanitarian crisis demanding our immediate attention and action. Businesses and organisations have the power to change lives. By providing meals, donating food, and supporting food security programs, we can offer hope and sustenance to those in need. Every act of kindness counts. At Daisy Business Solutions, we are committed to fighting hunger. This World Hunger Day, we distributed 5000 sandwiches to underprivileged communities across the nation, showing that collective action can make a big difference. We urge other organisations to join us. Join us in this critical mission. Every contribution helps. Together, we can create a future without hunger.

Today, on #WorldHungerDay, let us not forget the continued impacts that food insecurity is having on families across #Afghanistan. An alarming 15 million people are currently acutely food insecure in Afghanistan.

Nigeria is facing a worsening food security crisis, with over one million additional people experiencing severe food insecurity in 2024 compared to the previous year, according to a report by the World Bank. The recently released Food Security Update Report highlights that countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia and Yemen have seen a significant rise in the number of people facing acute food shortages. In light of these circumstances, it becomes crucial for the government, international organizations, and the global community to collaborate on initiatives aimed at mitigating the impact and preventing a humanitarian crisis.

While many people are planning their Thanksgiving dinner this weekend, household food insecurity incidence continues to rise to affect more than 20% of Canadians. We all feel good donating to the food bank, but it doesn't get to the root of the problem. Food banks are a bandaid solution for the underlying need for policy change to increase food security for all Canadians.

Nigeria is facing a severe food security crisis, with over one million more people experiencing acute food shortages in 2024 compared to the previous year. It's imperative that we work together to address this issue and prevent a humanitarian crisis.

Such an important point to draw awareness to. The impact and effects of climate change are not evenly distributed. Many 1st world countries have benefited for years (both financially and otherwise) from using products or processes that contribute to climate change, but the greatest impacts from these changes are likely to be felt by some of the world's poorest countries, and in regions that do not have the means to protect themselves against it.

🌍🇸🇴 Urgent Call for Somalia: Food and Water Crisis Devastating Lives In Somalia, the crisis goes beyond water and food—it is about survival itself. Millions of our brothers and sisters are battling not only the lack of clean water but also severe food shortages. Families are struggling daily, with children missing out on education as they search for water and food. Deadly diseases like cholera and diarrhea are spreading due to contaminated water, while hunger further weakens already vulnerable communities. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized the significance of giving water. He ﷺ said: “The best charity is giving water to drink.” 💧 💙💛HDF is working tirelessly to bring life-saving food and clean drinking water to those most affected by this crisis. By addressing these basic needs, we can prevent disease, combat hunger, and restore hope to families who have lost so much. Together, we can make a difference. Let’s ensure our brothers and sisters in Somalia are not forgotten. 🔗🇸🇴 Learn more and donate today: hdfund.org/somalia
