Join our Global Dinner Party: October 20-21!
“When the end of poverty arrives, as it can and should in our own generation, it will be citizens in a million communities in rich and poor countries alike ... who will have turned the tide” ~ Dr Jeffrey Sachs.
There are 925 million undernourished people in the world today. That means one in seven people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life. The Eat So They Can campaign is all about providing citizens around the world - people just like you - with an inspiring way to bring an end to global hunger.
Eat So They Can is an initiative of the Global Volunteer Network and the GVN Foundation. The concept is simple - by hosting a dinner party, you can help end hunger and malnutrition around the world! So join our Global Dinner Party on October 20-21 by signing up as a host in the big green box to your right. The funds you raise will go towards supporting GVN Foundation's nutrition programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
We believe all our small actions can combine in a powerful way to end hunger and empower communities. So join us in ending hunger - one dinner party at a time!
