The Night is Long for a Hungry Child

This is a campaign inspired by the plight of young people and communities caught up in the intertwined challenges of climate change, conflict and poverty.

Our outcome-focused scalable response plan prioritises addressing the interconnected root causes of those three main threats by;

  • Creating a supportive environment where young people can thrive,
  • Ensuring families living more secured, dignified and fulfilling lives, and
  • Improving populations’ well-being through self-help for self-reliance activities

The message of “The Night is Long for a Hungry Child”, as sung by the iconic South-African musician Lucky Dube, goes beyond giving hope where there is despair, neither is it cry for help; but partnership to build effective system such as healthcare, education, roads, job creation, and leadership the population can trust and count on.
