Let's stop Rural Hunger

The Story

Hello you!

I am Ily. , final year student at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Helping people in need are one of the value I practice in life. 

When I first heard about rural hunger in Sabah, it drew my attention as Sabah is one of the Poorest States in Malaysia, with over 40,000 classified as "hardcore poor". Food and water are basic necessities for us as humans to continue living. Can a human survive without food? Yes, but only 1-2 months. However, are you capable of fighting hunger?

As a student, there were a few times I had to skip my lunch and breakfast as I was rushing to class. The hunger could make me lose focus in class and drain my energy. Little did you realize the importance of food to give us energy and nutrient. Hence, this campaign inspired me to make people aware that food hunger has many consequences in our lives. Imagine our friends in Kota Belud, Sabah fighting food hunger every day with a lack of resources and skills in food security. Thus, this fundraising could help the communities connected with essential utilities overcome food security issues. 

All these funds from this campaign will be given to HOPE Malaysia Welfare Association to provide rural communities with the skills, knowledge, and tools needed to start green, sustainable small-scale farming, so families can make use of their land to improve their Long-term Food Security - Growing Own Food For Self-Consumption And Sustainable Livelihoods. Let's together provide necessities for Kota Belud, and Sabah communities to beat food hunger and food security. One donation leads to healthy communities <3
