21 May: Fight Hunger - Walk the World!

On May 21 there will be people marching against child hunger in every time zone of the world. The “Walk the World” march is an annual advocacy event that gathers over 200 000 people all over the world to bring to the forefront the suffering of children and the need for concrete action in the global effort against hunger.

Promoted since 2005 by World Food Programme (WFP) and supported by a series of partnerships such as TNT, Caritas Internationalis, Islamic relief, the Millennium Campaign and World Vision among others, “Walk the World” seeks to become a fixed date in the calendar of advocacy and awareness raising activities all around the world.

There are already more than 60 events registered to take place on 21 May all around the world to raise awareness and money that will go directly to WFP’s global school feeding programme that offers meals at school to some of the world’s most vulnerable children.
