Who knew you could do all that in just 30 hours?
WHERE DOES FAMINE MONEY GO?
Because of people who supported last year’s 30 Hour Famine, millions of dollars were raised to save lives around the globe.
WHERE THE MONEY WENT IN 2010
Last year more than 81% of the funds received by World Vision Canada went to programs that combat poverty and help children and communities in need.
In North Sudan, the Famine built 20 new classrooms, provided school supplies and bought uniforms for 350 students.
In Cambodia, the Famine saved hundreds of exploited girls through programs that both guard against child trafficking and help to bring offenders to justice.
In Uganda, Famine supporters fed thousands of starving children by providing agricultural education and farming tools to 800 families.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Famine helped drill 7500 water pumps and boreholes, impacting more than 75,000 people.
