‘Hold Hope!’ Campaign in Celebration of World Food Day - Tonga

Tonga (Tonga), 12/11/2025 - 12/11/2025

The Global Hope Supporters in Tonga carried out a food donation activity on November 13, 2025, in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in celebration of World Food Day 2025. They delivered 25 food boxes to economically and socially vulnerable families. The boxes were packed with rice, flour, sugar, and canned goods, reflecting a mother’s devotion and care for her family’s well-being.

This event was part of the “Hold Hope!” campaign carried out by the World Mission Society Church of God’s Global Hope Supporters, who works with the heart of a mother who values life and devotes herself to her family. The “Hold Hope” campaign aimed to support those suffering from food insecurity—including vulnerable groups and small-scale food producers—and move toward a world free from hunger. The campaign was being conducted from September to October 2025 across about 60 countries, sharing the message that “Everyone has the right to adequate, safe, and nutritious food.

The Global Hope Supporters focus their efforts on key priority areas:

1. Food Aid to Vulnerable Groups

They support low-income families in about 60 countries, including those where the prevalence of severe food insecurity exceeds the global average. In cooperation with local governments, they provide food boxes designed with balanced nutritional content to neighbors in humanitarian crisis situations, raising public awareness of the global food crisis.

2. Support for Small-Scale Food Producers

They offer tailored assistance—such as providing helping hands and essential supplies in farming, fishing, or livestock industries—to local small-scale food producers, contributing to the stabilization of regional food supply systems. - This campaign is part of the Church of God’s six major fields of social contribution, under the category of “Poverty and Hunger Alleviation.” The Global Hope Supporters continue to take the lead in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through diverse initiatives, including climate change response, educational support, and health and well-being promotion.
