Do you cook a mean pot of Thai broccoli? gorta wants all you soup lovers and foodies out there to take part in Soup for Life. Gather your friends, family and colleagues for a fun get together over a bowl, cup or pot of soup (or any meal that takes your fancy!) and make a modest contribution to gorta’s work fighting hunger and malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa.
So what’s so special about sharing soup?
In Ireland during The Great Famine soup kitchens fed more than one third of the population at one stage. This May, when Soup for Life is in action, gorta and the Irish government will be commemorating the Great Irish Famine. We will be remembering the past, but also looking to the future.
Today, undernourishment affects 1.02 billion people. Such food insecurity is a result of many factors including increased food prices, crop failures, conflict and climate change.
GORTA BELIEVES THAT SMALL ACTIONS CAN CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIG CHANGE.
