The Race against Hunger: a collective and meaningful project

Every year, thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, thousands of students are educated about hunger-related issues, and millions of euros are raised to support Action against Hunger’s programs.

For nearly 30 years, schools have participated in the Race against Hunger, a structured initiative with two key moments:

February to April – Awareness sessions:

Volunteers lead sessions to help students understand the issue of hunger and explore solutions to fight it.

May –The charity run:

Students take action by collecting donations to support Action against Hunger’s programs.
