Angola Hunger Relief is a project that aims to solve the problems of hunger in Angola. We acknowledge that HUNGER is a global issue and we want to do our part by helping and educating the donors and the recipients. Poverty is a social problem but we Believe that hunger can be alleviated. To achieve our goal we seek to raise funds, support institutions and vulnerable people.
In 2019 after a trip to Luanda while walking with my daughter a homeless young boy called Goncalves approached me. He said he was hungry and asked if I could buy him bread. So I did, my 6-year-old daughter had never seen extreme poverty. So she questioned why there were so many homeless kids on the streets, why they were not in school and how we could help them. That touched me deeply because I knew I could do more and I knew that the next time I returned to Luanda I had to somehow make a difference.
NOW more than ever, at the start of this pandemic I wondered how would Goncalves be and I understood that the Angolan people needed the US Now more than ever. Angola does not have a capable welfare system, as well as 42% of the population, live in poverty and 20% in extreme poverty.
Angola Hunger Relief would like to thank Rifa Concierge for embracing and supporting this cause.
