Without women, we all go hungry

Join us for a feast@home or feast@work to support women in developing countries and celebrate International Women’s Day.

Hosting your own Feast is easy! Simply invite your friends or co-workers to share a meal at home or work. To raise money for IWDA, attending guests donate the money they would usually spend on ‘eating out’ to IWDA.  Easy, fun and worthwhile!

Why Feast?

Feast recognises that access to affordable, sufficient, safe and nutritious food (food security) is critical to human well being. Today, nearly 1 in 7 people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life. This makes hunger and malnutrition the number one risk to health worldwide - greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Of the most chronically hungry, over 60% are women and girls.

As a fundraising event, Feast provides vital funds to support the work of IWDA; we recognise that food security depends on the empowerment of women. IWDA Feast acknowledges that: ‘without women, we all go hungry’. Women not only cook food, they sow, reap and harvest it. It is estimated that 8 out of 10 people engaged in farming in Africa are women and 6 out of 10 in Asia.

So we invite you to come and celebrate the sustaining work of women worldwide with IWDA.
