30-Hour Famine

What is the 30-Hour Famine?

The 30-Hour Famine isn’t just an event. It’s a mission where you will dive deep into global issues through immersive activities. When you join the 30-Hour Famine, you’re not just a participant. You’re a Famine Fighter, you’re the hero our world desperately needs.

You will engage in interactive activities, become an informed global citizen, and champion the cause of vulnerable children in Malaysia and beyond. You will also fundraise to support poverty alleviation and community development work.
Let’s face it – our world today is grappling with numerous issues: poverty, hunger crisis, climate change, conflict, and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, just to name a few.

Individually, we also face personal challenges stemming from these issues. It’s time to tackle these head-on and make things right.
Even in the most challenging circumstances, we have the power to choose to do the right thing. We believe that change is possible, and it starts with us.

It begins with a shift in our mindset, coupled with responding to challenges with love, and practicing patience, even when change isn’t visible or instant.

Be the light, do what’s right. Together, we can “Right the Wrong” in this world!
