In line with its “Lahat Dapat” campaign, Save the Children aims to “recognize media materials that highlight hunger and malnutrition as urgent national concerns and advocate actively for their eradication.”

The video, animated by Tom Estrera III and narrated by Patricia Evangelista as part of Rappler’s #HungerProject campaign, discusses the global situation of hunger and malnutrition and how collective action can help end these problems. 

The #HungerProject is an online platform for meaningful discussion and informed action on how to end hunger and address poverty in the Philippines. It houses a wide array of multi-media articles on the importance of collaboration and efforts of different sectors in achieving zero hunger.
