"There is no worse experience than being a father who cannot provide for his family."
Asha*, refugee from Africa speaking on his experience with hunger.
Bake for Refugees
Involving churches, schools, and other communities in the hunger crisis faced by the forcibly displaced.
Asha* resettled in Australia from Africa in 2023, forced out of his country due to unjust persecution. From that moment on, Asha and his family became food insecure. Displacement created many struggles. He lost his dignity, was refused the ability to belong in a community, and unfortunately suffered extreme hunger for most of his life.
In an interview, he stated that his family had no way to trust that there would be enough food on the table the following day for many years:
"There is nothing worse than being a father who cannot provide for his children."
The experience of constant hunger strongly shaped his perspective on life and the world.
"All the inequalities, exploitation and abuse of human rights (in most cases) comes from greed, a desire to accumulate all the resources and not share them equitably."
No one should ever have to know the burden of an empty place and the hopelessness of lacking food.
How to Get Involved
Schools: Encourage students to set up a bake sale stall featuring food from their cultural heritage. All proceeds will go towards supporting the survival needs of displaced families around the world. Schools can also support Philoi Global as part of their Service Projects.
Churches: Holding a bake sale supports Christian families who are living in displacement. Join us as we stand with them during their time of need.
We will provide:
- Advertising posters for your school or church
- An email template with the details for parent’s information
- A badge and certificate for students who participate as a token of our appreciation
