Global Change Tanzania Spring 2011

A hungerfree world!

In the last few years, the combined effect of the financial-, energy-, environment- and food crisis has increased hunger in the world. Never in history have so many people been starving. 1 billion people go to sleep hungry every day
In spring 2011 Global Change Tanzania will be focusing on land grabbing and the lack of policy guiding international investors who purchase land in Tanzania. The land grabbing is a severe threat for the food sovereignty of the people and the right to food for rural communities.

Global Change seeks to empower and support people to reclaim their rights, transform their lives and make their voices heard. This is done by providing the tools and knowledge for young people to facilitate change processes, plan and carry out campaigns and to lead and mobilise people to fight hunger.
