  • more food you send, more they will ask for

  • Very motivating, is proud working with this organization

  • IM HUNGRY

    

  • Show this video to epicmealtime

  • Wish I was old enough to get a credit card and help but once I reach 18, I'll get one and donate :) but it dissapoints me that so many people with credit cards don't give, when its so simple.

  • I'VE JUST DONATED 3000 GRAINS OF RICE

    ...and I'm not stopping! I sincerely hope that a hungry child will really receive that... Thank you, WFP for alerting the people, there's no stopping, step by step, we can change the billion into 0.

  • This is not true it isn't the first time people are dying from hunger think about the ones that are dying of hunger are the ones that are living like we did 1 thousend years ago

  • WE CAN END HUNGER

    A little child from hunger dies across the world from me,

    So far away, but yet I hear his cries of misery.

    A picture's worth a thousand words, and here I see his face,

    a little brother in my family called the human race.

    This peaceful angel shows his face to the world community

    so we can no more turn away, so we can finally see.

    Hunger hurts. It hurts us all. But we can find reprieve

    In learning that it feels so great to give and to receive.

  • actually, just about everybody is willing to donate. its just that theyre too lazy

  • Social assistance, education.... Universal health-care.... That solves the problem. The OverPopulation is not a problem.... For example, If EggMan wanna rule the World, how he can do it??? He just need to kill his adversaries.... And the EggMan's adversaries are Sonic and the people who live in this world. So, he need to kill - make a genocide - for control a selected group. His partners.

  • -well for one the UN could actually kick out the dictators holding food back for the good of themselves,

    -you could introduce a steralisation program banning people from having more than two children in the developing world like has happend in china successfully,

    -reintroduce intensive farming to the poor nations.

    -Introduce a GLOBAL minimum wage of $20,000 a year with a legal limitation on inflation purfectly possible when all nations agree.

    yep... that would solve it.

  • Don't have children if you can't afford to support them. If your having kids and you cant even support yourself, then your just knowingly making an innocent child suffer and die. I'm Not trying to be rude but its just common sense.

    But people don't seem to even acknowledge this simple, obvious solution and make other people feel guilty for someone else's mistake. Now it seems like its too late because so many innocent lives have already been lost from hunger.

  • Sharing, Justice and Peace will end starvation, injustice and war.

  • Petitions against overpopulation exist. The solutions are: to provide access to the poor girls to EDUCATION, the spread of family planning, including free access to contraception (30% of pregnancies are unwanted !) and diffusion of culturally appropriate messages, alerting populations of the impasse which led to a family too large as an incentive to moderate their procreation. Thus we must donate FOOD and the right of KNOWLEDGE, EDUCATION for poor people.

  • And fight against hunger, that's fine but it would also make donations so that they have the right to education, knowledge (especially for poor girls ...). Otherwise, you maintain these poor people into poverty --> they must have the right to education and knowledge in general.

  • Petitions against overpopulation exist. The solutions are: to provide access to the daughters of poor education, the spread of family planning, including free access to contraception (30% of pregnancies are unwanted) and diffusion of culturally appropriate messages, alerting populations of the impasse which led to a family too large as an incentive to moderate their procreation.

  • Wouldn't it be better if we taught them to control their birth rates...with less people in the world there would be plenty of food to go around right?

  • @atheist382 The worlds current output of Food is MORE Than enough to feed it's current inhabitants. The reason why there are famines is because of bad governments ruling those regions (dictatorships, or anarchy)

  • @atheist382 That's a more long term solution and is the right thing to do in the long run, empowering woman in the third world will do a lot to solve birth rates which will in turn help solve the food crisis.

  • Yeah.... don't think I will donate to foreigners. Probably for my own citizens to make my country more stronger.

  • "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." ~ Matthew 25:35

    "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." ~ John 13:34

  • since this world has the rich and the poor, the rich should take the initiative to help the poor to make the world a better place for all

  • @HuiHLoh I agree, but they shouldn't be forced.

  • @HuiHLoh  notice "should"... the rich just get too greedy :/

  • @HuiHLoh They do, But that's not going to solve the problem by keep giving away. If you give a man a fish he'll last a week, if you teach him how to fish , he can feed himself for a life time.

  • THIS IS AWESOME1!!!!!!!11``1!!!1

  • THIS IS AWESOME1!!!!!!!11```221!!!1

  • Im sorry but donating to third world countries will never end the system of debt thier country is in.

  • Free Rice rocks!

  • Proof positive that world population HAS hit its maximum potential. I will donate to religious guilt relief before over population relief. cruel but very true

  • You are making excellent videos and it definitley is needed however you will see with some research that just like the overpopulation myth the main problem we face with food and water shortage,pollution, climate change...etc is ANIMAL RAISING. It is a myth that we need it. You can feed 30 people on a plant based diet on the same a mount of land it takes to feed a meat eater, half the worlds grain supply is fed to animals instead of humans! It takes 20,000-40,000 ltrs of water to make 1kg of beef

  • Well, the problem is not that there are too many people

    It's that not all the food can be accessed

    Because we're so afraid of overpopulation

    And the online billion can access it

  • It is a tragedy that most of the world richest countries STILL give government money to THEIR OWN farmers and also put TAXES (tariffs) on all imported food which comes from poor countries so that they can't sell as much food as they would like.

    If all subsidies and tariffs were eliminated money would flood into Africa, South America and Asia and they would be able to grow their economies 10 times more efficient. Also food prices would in the long run go down which means less hunger.

  • Lol what happens to the 7% that isn't helping world hunger?

  • World hunger is a control mechanism. The world grows more than enough food. The problem is the corrupt global financial systems keeps money out of the hands of the poor so they can't fend for themselves.

    Cave men did not have relief and aid, and guess what, they didn't starve. They build the world we have.

    What they didn't have was corporations dumping cheap food on them to destroy their agriculture, and then putting the price up beyond what locals can afford.

  • The food is all there, but people are still hungry. Why?

    In the United States we produce such a vast excess of food that literally mountains of corn are disposed of without ever reaching the market.

    When you realize why it is that you live in a nation that has such vast quantities of food in which children are still going to bed hungry, then perhaps you will ask yourself why so few ever go hungry when Workers and Farmers own cooperative companies. Google Workers Cooperative, socialism works

  • nothing because it will go to ONE cup of food, so you would need billions and billions of pounds (dollars) to feed everyone!

  • Don't give them food>>>>Bring them to the food.........they NEED WATER in big quantity.......bring the water from the sea to the desert

  • very effective animation! It is so upsetting that there are humans suffering like that.

  • how does one ensure that the aid actually gets to where it's meant to go? from corrupt charities that sifon the majority of the cash to themselves to 3rd world mafia thieves that steal any aid that actually gets to these places... and then the aid is SOLD to the needy. how do you avoid that??

  • sharring is carring.

  • It is good to donate to alleviate temporary food shortages. Even better is to support the work to bring a minimum level of prosperity to everyone - this will end hunger everywhere, permantly. Charity is needed in this emergency - it is no way a desirable or long term solution. Comprehensive prosperity even at the lowest levels only requires a little starter money - when it's working , it always brings back more prosperity into the system. See The Hunger Project.org,

  • @twispsalterego Sadly, that kind of people doesn't only occupy he right wing. They are all over the political spectra.

    Fortunately, the compassionate are equally spread in all groups. (possibly with exception from nazis and the likes?)

    Though I agree, people who downplays poverty and starvation should be forced to live on the streets for a year or two, to give them a bit of insight of what they're talking about :/

  • i love this vidio helped with my school project thanx youtube

  • The problem is not food but over population , the planet is only getting smaller an so will production of our natural resource.

  • If you give lip service to wanting to end man's suffering at the hands of man but ignore the fact that Cannabis can feed, clothe, shelter, alleviate suffering and stress, provide a wide range of power sources, and a rediculous amount of other helpful truely sustainable things to this world, all the while never killing a single human being solely from the drug it produces, then you are either completely brainwashed or just plain ignorant. If you agree with me great, if not, educate yourself.

  • I partially agree with this. I personally believe that governments should take responsibility more than the people themselves since it is unfair to other nations to starve. The government has more resources that can help people, but if the government is not making a stand for this issue then it is in people's right to contribute to the issue, to make the lives of those suffering more bearable. Everyone should have the right and access to food since it is a need.

  • If it was as easy as giving money this would not be happening . War is the main reason people starve. There is also politics and extrem greed. All are cheep junk is made in China using a lot of cheep oil from Sudan. Rulers will also take a large peace of the aid money .(Haiti)

    Wish it was this simple.

  • SEND THE VIDEO LINK TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • i got pound currency...can i still donate....

  • i need this video in spanish please!!! help me!!!!

  • just donated and i only wish i could give more

  • Sharing will save the world

  • @vthilton When the workers own the work place everyone prospers, everyone except the business elites who now own more wealth than all the rest of us combined.

  • It is a mistake to think that poverty is caused by a lack of or can be solved by gifts from outside. There is only one way poverty can be solved, and that is by the people themselves, for them to become independent. But first they have to be free from restrictions. All poverty today is a result of government protectionism and regulation and taxes on free enterprise. Watch "How an economy grows and why it doesn't" on my channel.

  • The real issue here is in fact the very structure of our society itself, all throughout history the wealthy elite have been the minority while the poor have starved. Today its the same story. We need to look at the root causes of issues, while throwing money at it is quite noble, it will never end this repeating cycle. We have to look to an alternative to this corrupt and outdated monetary system. Watch Zeitgeist Addendum, Zeitgeist Moving Forward and check out The Venus Project!!!

  • There are to many ppl on this earth as is if there just gonna contribute to the destruction of the earths resources by being alive and needed everyday things and have nothing back to give to society and are just going to ba an inusance to the human race then they don't deserve to live

  • Its a shame this problem exist

  • you realise the is hunger here in the US to? i think we need to help ourselves before others

  • they can just not have kids since there so poor anyway 

  • Its a crime, its a fucking crime that some people in the world have billions and billions of dollars on their bank accounts, while there are people all over the world dieing from starvation every second....

  • @derbigpr500

    Billionaires are actually among the most philanthropic people in the world =D

  • if u donate u r making more problems , its in the hands of the world bank and the elite to stop this

  • The worse part is that the food americans throw in the garbage every year is enaugh to feed all the hugry people for more than a year. 

  • I only help the people in the country/s I live/d in. The ones that're having still having mass hunger and poverty need to evolve on their on feet.

  • It is very important that people dont donate money... we need to get a better fit between the planets ressources and the amount of people in it! this seems hard but it was an expected consequence to anyone

  • I guess there is 1 billion too many.

    Are you planning to use "stick and carrot" plan here or just feeding them? Because if you are just feeding them (as i suspect) soon you are going to need collect 2 billion.

  • What if I told you that I have devised a perfect system of social organization? What if I told you that this system is organized so that everybody could be free to think and live like they wanted, and that there would be no hunger, or injustice, or poverty? Probably you would think it impossible that something like that can exist, but, what if I was right?

  • "Im starved to death..." it's sarcasm to us. But to them is literal.

  • wow that really touches my heart, i will help those 1 billion people who are in need.

  • the reason they don't have food is because we are too greedy.

  • I'm not donating anything to this charity! For one thing, the 'one billion' starving people, oh sorry, as they put it 'children', seems fraudulent to me. Especially when they are always asking for money. Also, how are these people reproducing so fast if they are dying of hunger?

    Of course the 1985 pictures of famine was due to war more than anything else but of course propaganda is used and to effect for money....also, I like how they keep reusing old footage of 1985 as prove of it now!

  • @IJUSTSUBSCRIBENOW umm idk what your problem is but they always need the $ because ppl always need the food. nobody said u have to donate, so u dont have to try to ruin a great cause. just sayin

  • I red that the main cause of world hunger is overpopulation. People need to stop having kids and now. It's not that hard to solve this problem.

  • @TheZa1994 It seems that turns out to be backwards, hunger causes overpopulation, as counterintuitive as that may seem. There has been some studies on the field, reading up may clear some things. 

  • @TheZa1994 Finally !

  • @TheZa1994

    I'm afaraid it's not that easy.

  • I really want to donate, but I'm simply a student in a Third World country. It just feels THAT bad. World hunger is not a simple problem; it is the resulting conglomerate of all of the problems that we people did: constant war, pollution, greed.

    To be able to do something at least, I do my best to help my local community though. I can't help worldwide, but I can help at our locality.

  • i know i can do something.. changing lives stats with changing the man on the mirror..

  • pls see our video on hunger in Mexico click on my channel right now. help hunger in Mexico!!!

  • I'm all for helping people, but the fact should be "For once in humanity, there are over 1 billion people". Seriously, most people were technically "starving" by the definition this video must be going of off in the older days.

  • It would be nice if you could donate through other means than credit cards, like postal orders or somethin'... not all people have credit cards...

  • my friends and i created a video with the "6 seconds every child" theme.

    for each view we get we get 10 grains of rice donated through the free rice website. were only doing this to may 11th. so we need your support guys. thanks!

    its under user name kmsolis2

  • this is an awesome video!!!

  • Can I donate with paypal?

  • problem is that donations don't reach the destinations. was it 5% that reached Ethiopia in 1985?

  • problem is that donations don't reach the destinations. was it 5% that reached Ethiopia in 1985?

  • Since agriculture is the foundation of any and all civilizations, growing food would be the obvious remedy to alleviate their hunger. I would never give bank issued debt notes to poor, exploited and monopolized people, so they can traffic in agricultural products. However, a banker will tell you different. Send them seeds instead of debt.

  • Think of the underlying law of nature. The way of all things.

    Consider its astounding inferences and implications.

    The single, underlying law ... of nature! Not merely of physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, etc., but of all known fields of inquiry. The law we can all relate to, identify, understand and apply.

    Ask yourself. What is the underlying law of nature?

    Delight in the question. Have fun in the process of finding the answer firsthand for yourself.

    Google it, as a start.

  • If we look upon the world as one human family...all of us brothers and sisters...how can we let our children starve and die? Ghandi said to be the change you wish to see. I wish to see them live and grow and fulfill their potential. Thank you for this video. I will share it with many.

  • Thank you so much for uploading videos here to inform the masses and do your part to help stop World Hunger. Inspired by your channel I recently made a small PSA animation myself called "Shared Food Tastes Better." Thanks for accepting it as a video response and keep going on with your noble cause :)

  • here in america, we have an entire day dedicated to eating. we're so cool.

    that's a lie. we're not cool.

  • how they get the facts?

  • Hi, which of the facts are you interested in finding more about. Let us know and we point you in the right direction.

  • the world is getting over populated

  • I feel bad that we take things for granted, while other people are dying of a preventable thing, HUNGER

  • Is it possible to donate $500'000?

  • Please offer a PayPal option for donating.

  • Can I pay with paypal? I'd be happy if I could.

  • i like it it kind of tells the truth

  • i really do not try to sound like an asshole!i know that this is only going to help people but these children are starving especially the ones in africa not because they are poor or because they live in remote areas,they are starving because of wars in these areas which are supported by the US or china by giving them guns!my point is that all of this is pointless!if we are to help them political conditions must change!this problem could have been solved years ago if our governments wanted so!

  • What is truely sick and quite scary is that the worlds hungery could have been feed these last ten years just on the money wasted by warring with Irag and Afganistan in the last ten years.

  • @talus007 You know what else is sick? the world produces more food than people on the planet. How jacked up is that?

  • how do u donate

  • Go to WFP's website, you will find it there.

  • We must remove money from the planet. Our money system is an institution that has gone bad. Change is all we can expect. Change, or die.

  • Remove money from the planet. That's the solution. The institution of our money system has long since outlived its usefulness. We don't need money, anymore. Technology can do everything for us, for free, forever. All institutions fail at some point. Change is the only constant. If we don't change, we will all die.

  • Call here for a nice time:9737100089

  • Donate!DONATE NAO!

  • Even tho this video is exhagerated,

    the solution is to remove money from the world

    because then there would be no incentive to produce coffee in those countries, which means they would be allowed to grow food for themselves again.

    Pretty simple, but as good as impossible to achieve.

  • I do not agree with this

    Although Personally i think it's fair that we would donate as much as we can

    how about the rich people who fought hard and long for their money?

    And there wil be no motive for anyone to do anything. Although what you are saying is a ideal..

  • Would love to donate. Whats the procedure?

  • Go to WFP's website.

  • You will find it in the website.

  • interesting

  • Make pal pal a option and i can donate..

  • While-I-was-watching-this,10-k­ids-died-from-hunger.How-Sad.

  • Can you donate a billion dollers or is there a limit?

  • There's no limit :) but we understand that not everyone can afford a billion dollars. The small amounts, through, from lots of people are just as valuable!

  • It would be a shortsighted solution to a larger problem. Feed the poor, they live to multiply, but they'll still be poor, suffer in larger numbers, and still need to be fed. It's a slippery slope. The only way to solve this economic event horizon is through unthinkable measures...

  • mc donalds make 1 billion dollars a week on iced tea alone..... ithink they could slove this problem very easy

  • run2home93 : yeah yeah you've done your part no need to boast about it.

    There are many people who've donated thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

    Still they dont spam the comments "HEY I DONATED A SINGLE DOLLAR"

  • I'm rather poor so I donate my time instead.

  • Thanks so much for your time Sootheater, greatly appreciated.

  • I will tell all my friends and give 10$

  • Obama give 1 trilhon dolar for economy,call for Obama...

  • Can we start with the United States

  • it not just a donation to make a change, we should change our stupid western lifestyle that creates this inequality

  • Being conscious, fastly, becoming generous, deeply. Q.

  • It is sad that people go hungry. I believe it is the planet's reaction to us surpassing the sustainability.

  • i like apple pie

  • I want to donate $50,000 but I am too busy to somewhere to do it in person. Is it possible that I do it online?

  • never mind i might acuactually think bout it
