Amnesty International Australia (AU, 64002806233) Browse events

Millions of people around the world are deprived of their human rights. They are discriminated against, wrongly imprisoned, tortured and killed. They are prevented from informing and expressing themselves, meeting freely or practicing their beliefs. They are deprived of food and water, health care, education, work or a home. These individuals are deprived of human dignity by governments, by big corporations, by armed groups and even by family members. The chains are visible and obvious, other times they are secret and insidious. This injustice must stop. And ordinary people working together have the power to stop it. Amnesty International was founded in 1961 by Peter Benenson. Today as we celebrate over 50 years of defending human rights, we have become a global movement of over 4.6 million supporters; individuals, working together to make a difference.

Hunger Project Australia (AU, 45002569271) Browse events

The Hunger Project believes the human spirit is wonderfully creative.  We believe people have the ability and the desire to be self-reliant. While poverty can drain human dignity, we believe that by re-energising that spirit and shifting the mindset from one of hopelessness to one of optimism, people can be the source of their own success.   We also believe a shared vision is powerful and become an amazing, abundant reality. Our goal is to end world hunger.  Our methods are different from most organisations in that first we address the attitudes and then, only after that mindset has changed, do we begin action through skill building and tangible projects.  This model of empowerment allows us to be more efficient. We function at the grassroots level, finding local leaders who then work within the community to set their own agenda and priorities. We focus on women as change-agents. Women are disproportionately impoverished, yet they carry a large part of the burden of work and raising the children.  Many studies verify that women do the most to improve health, nutrition and education when given the opportunity. We have a clear exit strategy.  Strong, locally-run programmes create self-reliant individuals, therefore The Hunger Project can leave a sustainable economy in 5-9 years. All of this leads to a greater We work
