Join the 30-Hour Famine
Sign up as a participant and discover a world plagued by poverty and injustice.

Take a stand against hunger and poverty with one of Malaysia’s largest advocacy and fundraising movements!
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:
Famine Fighters will come together to learn about global issues and fast for 30 hours, to raise funds for those in need.
A child-friendly version for those aged 12 and below. Famine Fighters will raise funds, fast for 8 hours and participate in age-appropriate activities to learn about global issues.
Designed for all the families who want to participate together. No age limit.
Designed for those with a busy schedule. Individual Participants can fast anytime and anywhere they want, fundraise and learn about global issues based on the materials provided.
