The Philippines is facing a serious problem with malnutrition. 33% of children under 5 are malnourished. That’s 1 out of 3 children.
An international campaign of the restaurant industry promoted by Action Against Hunger, Restaurants Against Hunger unites restaurants and foodies to channel their passion for food into life-saving impact against hunger and child malnutrition.
For almost 40 years, across nearly 50 countries, Action Against Hunger has led the global fight against hunger. They are committed to ending world hunger, work to save the lives of malnourished children while providing communities with access to safe water and sustainable solutions to hunger. They ensure that the marginalized and most at risk have access to clean water, food, training and healthcare. They enable communities to be free from hunger. In the Philippines, Action Against Hunger has helped more than 500,000 people directly in 2015 alone. Of the 500,000, more than 30,000 were helped with nutrition programs – particularly saving lives via the prevention, detection and treatment of malnutrition, in particular during and following disasters and conflicts. “Action Against Hunger continues to respond to these pressing issues and we want to reach more people to help and support us as we unlock children’s potential and possibly give them something to look forward to in the future,” says Javad Amoozegar, country director for Action Against Hunger Philippines. Hoping to raise more funds for ending hunger in the Philippines, Action Against Hunger is following the footsteps of its global counterparts by launching the Restaurants Against Hunger this 2016. Tracing back its roots from World Food Day in France back in 1998, Restaurants Against Hunger was also launched in UK, US, Canada, and Spain. The campaign is also currently running in Italy, Germany, Peru, Colombia and Bolivia. Joining the roster of multi-awarded chefs from around the globe, including the world’s star chef John Roca, the Philippines own Chef Roland Laudico is a proud ambassador for the worthy cause. “Restaurants Against Hunger makes me realize that our craft goes beyond mere cooking, it also transforms into a stronger cause that enables us to have a chance to make someone’s future healthy,” Chef Roland Laudico says. The Philippines will have its 1st edition of the campaign running from November 15, 2016 to January 15, 2017.
