Esiste nel mio Paese un grande movimento che coinvolge il governo, le aziende private e le organizzazioni senza scopo di lucro nella lotta alla fame. Una questione ancora più grave per quasi 8 milioni di famiglie a causa della pandemia. Si stanno distribuendo pasti alle comunità più colpite e circa 3000 kit per neonati e bambini al di sotto dei due anni. Bisogna dunque lavorare tutti insieme in modo da poter raggiungere di più e fare di più!

The Task Force Zero Hunger (TFZH), chaired by Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles alongside private sectors, non-government organizations, and civil society groups, launched the multi-sectoral movement–Pilipinas Kontra Gutom (PKG), to fight hunger in the Philippines.

According to Sec. Nograles, with their partnership or the whole of nation approach with the private sectors and the public, the task force can succeed in ending hunger in the country by 2030 in an optimistic attitude.

He also acknowledged that ending hunger in the Philippines is a daunting task. However, he is confident that the country can accomplish this by working together hand in hand.

Sec. Nograles also urged everyone to help out through their respective initiatives. That in their campaign against hunger, we should be all in, all out––anyone who can pitch in should help, and those who can help should go all out.

Pilipinas Kontra Gutom aims to alleviate hunger in the Philippines by implementing projects empowering farmers and fisherfolk, addressing malnutrition, disaster response, food banking, resolving food wastage, and promoting sustainability.

Since being organized in November of 2020, PKG has grown and included 70 partners from private companies, non-profit groups, and various organizations.
