THE CHALLENGE AGAINST HUNGER IS A CHARITY SPORT EVENT FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND THEIR EMPLOYEES. PARTICIPATION IN THE CHALLENGE BRINGS EMPLOYEES TOGETHER THROUGH A TEAM-BUILDING SPORTING EVENT. THE GOAL? TO DO SOME EXERCISE AND EXCEL ALONGSIDE COLLEAGUES WHILE DOING A GOOD DEED.
A TEAM-BUILDING CHARITY SPORT EVENT
Launched in 2007, the Challenge Against Hunger is a charity sport event for businesses. Organised in Paris, it brings together thousands of people through different sporting activities, such as walking, Zumba, running, yoga, climbing, football or even boxing training. It is a sports event with a celebratory atmosphere in which participants represent their respective companies.
The Challenge Against Hunger encourages team building in your company. It enables your employees to strengthen bonds through sport while supporting our association so that we can combat malnutrition, a problem exacerbated by the climate emergency. This common motivation will drive your colleagues to do a good deed and consolidate their commitment to social causes.
It is thanks to your teams’ energy and your organisation’s support that Action contre la Faim can continue to carry out its humanitarian missions.
WHAT DOES OUR ASSOCIATION DO WITH YOUR DONATIONS? SUPPORT OUR ACTIVITY
The Challenge Against Hunger is the chance for all businesses – whether small, medium or large – to take part in a fun, multi-sport, team-building charity event that supports Action contre la Faim’s programmes.
Through this event, Action contre la Faim seeks to mobilise as many businesses as possible in the fight against climate change. The climate emergency is exacerbating the problem of world hunger. As extreme weather events intensify (cyclones, floods, droughts), millions of people’s food security is under threat.
Donations enable us to rapidly mobilize human and material resources in emergency situations, and also to finance priority missions identified by Action contre la Faim’s Operations Department.
How does it work?
A simple concept
The company commits a certain number of employees, then, on the day of the event, sponsors them to take part in one of the sports of their choice, offered according to the city. For every 6 minutes of activity, or for every lap (run, walk), the company makes a donation associated with each employee’s physical performance. Because every euro counts, so does every effort.
Thanks to the energy expended by each participant and the support of their company, our association raises funds to develop our humanitarian missions around the world.
A MULTI-SPORT EVENT
Several sports are offered at the event. Participants can choose between walking, running, yoga and Zumba.
A challenge all over France
Every year, several events are organized. From Paris La Défense to Boulogne Billancourt, Lyon and Nantes. Find all the information on our website challengecontrelafaim.org

Humanitarian missions are more essential than ever, and depend largely on mobilization events. Contribute alongside us by taking part in the connected challenge, whose principles remain identical to those of the Action contre la Faim challenge.
What is the connected challenge?
The Connected Challenge lets your employees step into the shoes of a humanitarian specializing in environmental and climate issues at Action contre la Faim.
The principle is simple: for several weeks, participants will have to take up daily sporting challenges by walking, running, cycling or doing yoga. Donations collected will enable Action contre la Faim to finance its activities.
By taking part in this digital and solidarity-based challenge, you and your colleagues will be supporting the actions of a humanitarian NGO focusing on meaningful themes such as access to water, food security and climate change…
Challenge your colleagues to a sporting challenge via an application
During the challenge, you’ll be able to travel virtually to a number of different countries to take part in daily sporting challenges, successively walking, running, cycling or doing yoga. The kilometers covered will be recorded and accumulated in the ConnectedagainstHunger application, enabling teams to challenge each other with inter-team and inter-company rankings.
The Connected Challenge is all about doing sport and doing a good deed at the same time.
