A solution to Hunger

Hunger in numbers

• Hunger in the Philippines is at a high. 15.5% of families

experienced involuntary hunger in the past 3 months.

= Estimated 2.9 million households (SWS survey, Q1 ’09)

• Hunger has been in double digits for more than 4 years

• Philippines – 5th in world hunger survey (hungrier than Ghana)

Face of Hunger

A Filipino mother killed her three

children Tuesday by forcing them to drink liquid toilet cleaner before taking

her own life. Police said poverty apparently drove Janeth Ponce, 32, to

kill her children, ages 4, 3 and 2, in their

house in Laguna province, south of Manila.

- Philippine Star, Tue, 09 Sep 2008

Why do we have hunger in the Philippines?

Searching for a solution

• Need a simple model that can be replicated nationwide – Address rural hunger – to address urban hunger

• Biggest challenge is sustainability – Address both farm technology and value formation

A 1st step to a solution

Empower the Poor. Eradicate Hunger.

What is the Bayan-anihan program?

10 sqm Garden Farming Model – Rural

10 sqm Garden Farming Model

Our ambitions

3 Year Target • Build at least 2,500 farms GK and NON GK sites that will

feed 500,000 people for life.

2009 – 500 farms 2010 – 1000 farms 2011 – 1000 farms

Our Measure • Yield: 10 kgs. of vegetables/plot/month (good for 30 meals) • Sustainability: 70% of plots maintained the following year,

and every year thereafter

Criteria for participation

Target communities that have:

1. Land: Availability of Arable land. At least 10 m2/family

2. Water: Sufficient fresh H2O source w/in 50m radius of plots

3. Organization: Should have an active community leader &

an implementing partner (LGU or NGO)

4. Prioritize hungriest provinces

- Within Top 12 hungriest provinces

- A 5th & 6th class municipality

Big idea to create the shift

A movement that aims to empower each & every Filipino

to say goodbye to hunger.

Goodbye Gutom! Goodbye hunger.

Goodbye to the hungry.
