Macau Famine

Thanks to your participation, Macau Famine 2018 has been a huge success in helping to end hunger for refugees!

With the theme “Hunger – Violence in Disguise”, Macau Famine 2018 raises awareness on the needs of refugees.

Campers of 10-Hour Famine Camp experienced the plight of hungry children by fasting 10 hours and taking part in different activities.

Campers ran through “forests” planted with “landmines” while searching for food in a simulation workshop.

Campers attempted to build temporary shelters with simple supplies in a workshop.

Schools and churches participated in the Red Packet Campaign to support refugees in need.

Elementary school students showed their support to refugees by drawing under the theme of “Hunger – Violence in Disguise”.

World Vision organised Famine talks, workshops and Rich and Poor’s Banquet to teach young people about hunger and poverty.

Schools, groups and the general public participated in Macau Famine Flag Day to support hungry refugee children.

The Plight of Refugees

Since March 2011

No. of refugees: 5.4 million
1.31 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian aid
Over 6.5 million lack food security

Hamad fled from Syria to Lebanon with his children. Cold weather during winter has limited this father from farming and consequently caused him to lose a stable source of income. He has even fallen into debt for rent and food, yet his children are still starving.

Since December 2013

No. of refugees: 2 million
Over 4 million people lost their homes and are displaced
1.1 million children under five are acutely malnourished

The ongoing military conflict in South Sudan has made life very difficult for families to maintain. World Vision provides nutritional supplements such as Plumpy’Nut to malnourished children like Abuk. Yet, the more pressing need is to help families secure stable food supply.

Since August 2017

No. of refugees: 630,000 (in Bangladesh)
Over 60% of the refugees in Bangladesh are children under 18
21% of refugee children under five are malnourished

Laila’s home in Myanmar was burnt and her husband was killed. She arrived at Bangladesh with her disabled young child. Due to the lack of nutrition and clean water, her son’s health continues to deteriorate.
