We the Hunger Helpers got an ingenious idea to attain sustainability, we created Make Meals Matter Clubs! Yes, that’s right! We created a student-led, in-school club.

We have identified a need for education in our country (Colombia), one that increments the job opportunities as well as changing the job market and lower unemployment. We decided to specialize in the language development of young minds and teach them English.

Hi everyone! My name is Ethan, and I am 12 years old. I selected Goal 2: Zero Hunger among all the other 17 Sustainable Development Goals as my Sustainable Development Goal. The goal of my project is to encourage all children in Hong Kong to pay attention to the impact of food waste on the planet.

Our project: Operation Donation hopes to pass on the message of the importance of education and to educate the public about why it is most vital for everyone in the world, including those in poverty. We are hoping to be able to help the local community in terms of the issue with poverty by donating useful materials to them, especially during the pandemic. In summary, our project is to raise awareness of the dangers of wasting by kindly asking people to donate used things so those items could be passed on to people who really need them.

In the current climate, there are several issues our team identified and wanted to tackle with our project! Firstly, due to global warming, fresh water is becoming a scarcity and, in our region 70% of the water is used by the agriculture sector (often ineffectively). Furthermore, we noticed that habitats of at-risk wildlife were being destroyed and used for field farming, our region also suffers from air pollution (propelled by the lack of greenery) and, lastly, the agriculture sector produces 20 billion tons of food waste yearly (much still usable), despite thousands of people going hungry.
