Our WFP fundraiser for our wedding
Sanjay and Åsne are fundraising for the World Food Program for their wedding.

Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause.

We both have jobs which involve helping companies become more responsible and sustainable. The issues of climate change, geopolitical instability, and the loss of biodiversity are contributing to rising global hunger. The world is now battling its greatest hunger crisis this century, affecting 9.9 percent of people globally.

Those who know us know how much we love food and cooking. Contributing to food security for those who need it the most makes perfect sense to us.

Michele Kilo is fundraising
Louis Kilo Memorial Fund for Lebanon Relief
In honor of Louis Kilo, an extraordinary ordinary man, and our beloved Dad and Gramps, we are starting this GoFundMe to support the United Nations humanitarian relief fund for the people of Lebanon. In the aftermath of the disastrous explosion in Beirut and the dissolution of the Lebanese government, and most importantly, the enormous need for food and critical supplies for the Lebanese people, we have chosen this as the fund to contribute to. Of course, our family nationality being Syrian and Lebanese, donating to benefit the people of Lebanon is very meaningful to our family and would be to Dad.

Thanks to all friends and family who want to make a contribution in Dad's honor. Once all funds are totaled the World Food Program fund developer, Mia, who we worked with to set up this fund, will direct all collected contributions directly to Lebanon relief.

With tremendous love and gratitude,

Michele & Family

The Haas Community is fundraising
UN World Food Program: Haas Against Hunger
We at Berkeley Haas are on a mission to feed families on the front lines of our planet’s most dangerous and complicated emergencies. Here at Haas, we are a community committed to using our talents for good. Our culture of going “beyond ourselves”, has continually provided us with hope in times of need.

It is in this spirit that we’re calling on YOU to help save lives by donating your time, money, and/or network to help us reach our goal of $5,000 by January 10, 2021.

Around the world, 690 million people don't have enough food to lead an active and healthy life. As countries face a record number of emergencies, many fueled by conflict and the effects of climate change, more people are being pushed further into hunger.

To ensure that the most vulnerable people get lifesaving aid, 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Winner, the United Nations World Food Program, is on the ground providing food and other assistance to almost 100 million people in 83 countries worldwide. Each day, WFP has 5,600 trucks, 30 ships, and nearly 100 planes deployed in support of those who need it most.

We understand times are challenging for everyone. However, it is during these tough times that we must come together as a global community to help those most in need. Any assistance, whether it be raising awareness, providing money, or even simply sharing this campaign will go a long way. Thank you for your support!

The impact of your gift:
$.80 cents is the average cost of delivering an emergency meal to feed one child for a day.

$75 can provide a family with a U.N. World Food Programme emergency box — which contains enough food for an entire month.

$150 can provide a family with a U.N. World Food Programme emergency box — which contains enough food for two months.

Thank you again for sharing our steadfast belief in the potential and dignity of the world’s most vulnerable. Together, let's continue to make a difference!

Mass Helps Lebanon Jog-A-Thon
To do our part to help feed the people of Lebanon, Massachusetts can play our part by donating to the World Food Program, the arm of the UN that focuses on food aid. 50% of Beirut was impoverished before this tragedy, which has only damaged the economic engines of the city.

To help, all you need to do is run. Until August 18, your goal is to run as many miles as possible, while getting yourself, your friends and your family to sponsor a certain dollar amount for every mile. For example, if I pitch in $5 for every mile, my neighbor pledges $4 and my grandparents pledge $6, I only need to run 1 mile to raise $15 for the people of Lebanon.

Once you've finished running, you can either collect the money from your sponsors and make a donation to this page, or send your sponsors the link to this page and have them make the donation themselves. Thank you for your support, and all donations automatically go to the WFP!

NovaSource supporting Beirut
The massive explosion at the Port of Beirut on Tuesday, August 4th has turned families’ smoldering hunger into a full-blown crisis.

The country was already in the grips of a profound financial crisis and reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, families have nowhere to turn.

-Lebanon relies on imports for 85% of its food

-More than 1 million Lebanese live in poverty

-70% of Lebanon’s trade passes through the Port of Beirut

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is working at breakneck speed to help those who’ve become homeless overnight, were injured or lost loved ones in the blasts:
Food Assistance
WFP is providing emergency food assistance to 50,000 of the most vulnerable families (up to 270,000 people) affected by the economic and COVID-19 crises.

Cash Assistance
WFP is scaling up to reach up to 1 million people across the country with pre-loaded debit cards that can be used for food at local stores, up from 107,000 people.

Local Bakeries
WFP is delivering a 3-month supply of flour and grains to local bakeries and mills to help protect against food shortages as the country works to rebuild.

Rebuilding
WFP is providing logistical and supply chain expertise to augment Beirut Port facilities to ensure food stocks are replenished and there is no food shortage in the country.

Justice Swim is fundraising
Justice Swim
During the past few months, the duties of a responsible citizen in situations of crisis have been redefined. While people’s lives have been destroyed by the pandemic and surging social injustice has marginalized and threatened minorities all over the world, the millions of men, women and children who are dying of starvation have been forgotten. More than 800 million people face food shortage on a daily basis, and their crisis is not over because ours has started. Help is needed more than ever and together we must unite against injustice.

By attempting to swim the 30 km straight between Visingsö and Jönköping in the beginning of August, the two D1 college athletes Marcus Holmquist and Victor Johansson hope to raise awareness of food shortage around the world. A donation of just under $0.3 (~3 SEK) to WFP can provide one meal to a person in need, which means many lives can be saved by a generous donation. Together we can make a difference; support Justice Swim and please consider donating to save lives.

Everyone with a major debit or credit card can donate, regardless of where you live! Donations are also 100% tax deductible in the United States.

follow @justiceswim on Instagram for updates before, during and after the swim.

Thank you!

50 Good Reasons to Plant a Tree
Hello all,

We raised USD 26K out of a target of USD 10K and we are grateful!
This campaign is now closed

Hello all,

We are raising money for the World Food Programme.

It all started with the #WanakasetChallenge. We wanted to encourage people to stay home when possible and while in COVID19 confinement grow the largest and most diverse collection of fruit trees! And while at it, share on social media the largest number of good reasons to plant trees.

The rule was simple: for each new reason shared, 200$ dollar would be donated to vulnerable farmers living in the vicinity of Wanakaset projects. Thanks to people passion and commitment, we managed to collect more funds than we expected and made it 45 reasons as of 25th of April 2020.

https://wanakaset.org/france/en/en-vrac-30-bonnes-raisons-de-planter-un-arbre-2/

In the meantime, we realised that supply chain disruptions worldwide would sooner or later affect food related logistics. Farmers could not access their lands, trucks could not lift their products, seeds did not make it on time, etc..

And then last week the UN’s WFP chief warning that the Pandemic will cause a “Famine of Biblical Proportion”.

As the Pandemic pushes more people into poverty, and governments respond to the crisis the best they can to procure staple food, as many as 265 million people across 30 countries could now face starvation. That is why we started this campaign and that is why we need everyone’s help to support the most vulnerable when they need it most.

No amount is too small:

$15 could give a 1 month supply of food to a child
$45 could give a child a lifeline: 3 months’ worth of food assistance
$75 can provide a family with one WFP food box, containing food for a family for an entire month

Restoring our primary ecosystem services must happen and will happen by planting seeds and trees all throughout this year. and next and the one after.

But feeding starving people cannot wait.

Thank you for your support. All funds are transferred directly to UN's World Food Programme USA.

Save Kasai Children in D.R.Congo
According to the United Nations World Food Program 3 millions plus people in Democratic Republic of Congo's Kasai region are at risk of starvation. World Food Program has only 1% of needed funding to help. Currently the crisis in Kasais is worse than the crisis in Syria and Iraq but you barely hear about it.
I'm originally from the Kasai region in D.R.Congo and I've been living in the United States for the past 17 years . I've been blessed with a good great education, career and a ministry. But I can't sleep peacefully at night knowing that my people are suffering from hunger and abuse daily. That's why I'm parterning with U.N. World Food Program to save as many lives as possible. I know I can't save everyone but I would be overjoyed to save even a single life in this forgotten region of Kasai. Would you join me in this cause?

100% of the proceeds will given to the United Nations World Food Program. Merry Christmas to you all.
