Collective Weekly

A recent article from Context News highlighted the colossal scale of crises around the world, stating that “more than 180 million people are caught up in humanitarian emergencies.” However, the article explains that some emergencies receive limited media coverage and “fly under the radar.”Access to food, wages and market systems are often destroyed during an emergency, leading to higher rates of food insecurity. That is why Rise Against Hunger is committed to responding to emergencies. We work with local partners to provide food and other assistance to people affected by protracted crises and sudden-onset disasters — both those that make headlines and those that do not. Context News highlighted the 10 “most forgotten” emergencies that received the least media attention in 2024. Rise Against Hunger is responding in five of those countries: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Malawi, Niger and Zambia. Keep reading to learn about our work to alleviate hunger in these countries.
