For the third consecutive year, Ação da Cidadania launched this Wednesday (17th), the Brazil without Hunger campaign. The goal is to collect and distribute food to families across the country, especially those with children. According to data from the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef), at least 32 million girls and boys do not have enough to eat in Brazil. In 2022, the National Survey on Food Insecurity in the Context of Covid-19 in Brazil identified that about 65% of households in poverty are headed by black or brown people. The situation is worse in the North and Northeast, regions most affected by food insecurity. “Unfortunately, hunger has returned. We left the Hunger Map in 2014, but we returned to a frightening number, with almost 40% of Brazilian households with children up to 10 years old living in conditions of mild or moderate food insecurity, with some food restriction in their family”, highlighted the executive director of Ação da Cidadania, Rodrigo “Kiko” Afonso. The Brazil without Hunger campaign runs until September, followed by the Christmas without Hunger campaign.

Created in 1993 by sociologist Herbert de Souza, known as Betinho, Ação da Cidadania is a non-governmental organization based in Rio de Janeiro, which develops activities in search of solutions to hunger, encouraging citizen participation in the construction and improvement of public social policies. . In three decades, the organization distributed more than 55 thousand tons of food in the country.
