Update to the Global Board (October 2008). The Hunger Project-Mozambique focused on projects with tangible impacts for its partners. As a result, partners are starting food processing businesses following Hunger Project trainings. Tree planting projects and water and sanitation projects are well underway.
Cathy Burke, Country Director of The Hunger Project-Australia gives a trip update and relays how our partners in Ethiopia are coping with the world food crisis through our Epicenter Strategy.
Hunger is back on the world’s agenda. The rising cost of nearly every
staple food, from wheat and maize to soy and rice, has caused food
riots to break out in countries such as Haiti, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt,
the Philippines and Indonesia.
