Strike Out Hunger!

The 30-Hour Famine is a global youth movement against hunger and poverty. Participants fast for 30 or 8 hours, learn about global issues and raise funds, transforming hunger into hope. Our slogan for the year is “Strike Out Hunger!”. We want to build a world free of hunger with you. We call on all Famine Fighters to never give up, put up a good fight, believe in what is possible and make miracles happen! This year, we have singer-songwriter Victor Wong as our 30-Hour Famine Ambassador. Due to his warm voice, Victor is a well-loved singer of love songs in the global Chinese pop music scene.

The 30-Hour Famine will be conducted fully in-person this year. Famine Fighters of all ages can choose to participate in the campaign through four categories:
