Description
Meals for students in South Sudan. If you plan to donate more than $10, it would be ideal if you could donate in $10 increments in order to maximize the number of votes we receive. The first $10 will give you 5 votes, and each additional donation (minimum of $10) will get you one additional vote.
Donations are applied to...
One of the most pressing issues in South Sudan is food insecurity: earlier this year, UN agencies officially declared a famine in parts of South Sudan. To help address food insecurity for our students, we have been providing lunch to our students in the past two months. Our lunch meals have consisted of beans with rice or ugali (a dish made of cornmeal). In order to expand, we need to provide more meals. All ND Day donations will go toward supplying more food for next year.
World Hunger Coalition
Our goal at World Hunger Coalition is to fight hunger in the world. This year, we are partnering with Education Bridge. Education Bridge is a non-profit organization founded by Majak Anyieth--a current Notre Dame senior originally from South Sudan. Over the past two years, he has worked to build a school in Bor, South Sudan for students from grades 9-10. South Sudan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world--sitting at approximately 27 percent. Your donation will go directly toward their feeding program at the school, which provides meals daily to the students.
Why are donations necessary?
This week, we’re partnering with Notre Dame Day and World Hunger Coalition to raise money for our school’s feeding program. If you donate $10 to us, you get 5 votes. Each vote for us increases our share of $1 million that we will receive from the University of Notre Dame. The more votes you give, the larger our share becomes. Your $10 donation is worth up to $70 if you donate this week.
