30-Hour Famine 2021

World Vision Malaysia's 30-Hour Famine is a global youth movement against hunger and poverty. In light of the ongoing global pandemic, the 30-Hour Famine will introduce a new format in 2021, giving Famine Fighters the flexibility to fast, raise funds and fight for children in need anytime and anywhere, offline or online! For the second year in a row, our 30-Hour Famine ambassador will be Eric Chou (周兴哲).
World Vision Interventions and Beneficiaries
The funds raised through the 30-Hour Famine 2021 will support World Vision’s community development work, in India, Lebanon, Mongolia and Vietnam, providing children and families with Health & Nutrition, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) and Livelihood assistance. This includes:
- Improving nutrition knowledge and skills among mothers and caregivers of children under five.
- Increasing access to handwashing facilities and safe drinking water in rural child care centres.
- Improving access to markets for poorest-of-poor households as well as helping these households to work closely with local partners.
- Supporting co-operative groups in accessing markets as well as facilitating savings groups. Co-operative groups are made up of many households, giving them access to collective savings and allowing them to sell their agricultural produce as a group.
Locally, funds raised through the 30-Hour Famine will go towards World Vision Malaysia's community development work in Sabah as well as projects supporting vulnerable children and families in Malaysia.
