Check out 5 food fundraising campaigns to donate this year-end.
Hunger and extreme poverty are once again a sad reality in Brazil. The crisis, worsened by the Covid-19 pandemic, has intensified inequalities and also the social challenges that the country faces.
Hunger in Brazil has advanced and today affects 19.1 million people (9% of the population). The most recent survey by the PENSSAN Network shows that there are 116.8 million people in a situation of food insecurity.
On the other hand, this critical moment also highlighted the mobilization strength of civil society . Never has so much been donated! In Brazil alone, from the beginning of the pandemic until July 2021, more than 7.1 billion reais were donated, according to data from ABCR .
The challenges continue
With the arrival of the Christmas and New Year festivities, one of the most supportive periods of the year, there is no shortage of donation campaigns. And among so many options and causes that need support, you may be lost, unable to decide where to donate, but don't worry!
