We are pleased to announce the launch of our new brand campaign Thought For Food® with Sofonie Dala

Good evening ladies and gentlemen!

My name is Sofonie Dala, I am from Angola. In 2020 I was elected as one of 500+ TFF Ambassadors!

I am the local face of TFF® in my region when contacting internal (Regional Coordinators and Core Team) and external stakeholders.

Our main challenge is to seek all kinds of solutions to address the prevailing question: “How do we feed 10bn people on a hotter planet?”

Thought For Food® is a global non-profit organization dedicated to engaging and empowering the next generation to feed 9+ billion people by 2050.

We are youth  representing many different backgrounds—from science and engineering to design and creative storytelling, from business and entrepreneurship to farming and agronomy.

Hunger in Africa – are you willing to feed the children?

Starvation in Africa is now believed to be the most serious problem of all. Different sources say that every year hunger kills more people than diseases such as COVID-19, AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined all together. Many of those people are kids who die at very young age because of lack of food. The situation is very serious and African continent is in a grave danger. Hunger became a grim reaper who takes away countless numbers of lives each and every day.

Poverty seems to be the most important factor. Many African families simply do not have enough money to buy food. As a result, parents and children are starving and the state is not concerned with their situation.

Shaping the future of food and agriculture

Hunger facts

There are many different causes of hunger but most common are: poverty, environment, harmful economic systems, conflicts, and rapid population growth.

Environment is another problematic issue. People have to face erosion, desertification, deforestation, and of course droughts and water shortages. The agricultural production is sometimes extremely reduced. This reduction has a direct effect on hunger increase.

Singing and performing is an Art 

Ladies and gentlemen, meet our singer Filismina performing the song ''Sitting at the feet of Jesus''

1 Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Oh, what words I hear Him say! Happy place! so close, so precious! May it find me there each day; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past; For His love of him has been so gracious, It has won my heart at last.

2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Where can mortal be more blest? There I lay my sins and sorrows, And, when weary, find sweet rest; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, There I love to weep and pray; While I from His fullness of him gather Grace and comfort every day.

We appeal for donations of sanitary hygiene products, food and any kind of help that you can offer.

Don't miss out on the opportunity!!

We would really appreciate it if you could share this information widely with your youth networks and contacts.
