World Vision 40 Hour Famine
The World Vision 40 Hour Famine is New Zealand’s largest youth fundraising campaign. Every year since 1975, tens of thousands of young Kiwis have taken a stand through a 40 Hour Challenge to raise money and bring hope to thousands of children living in poverty in more than 40 countries.
Traditionally, the 40 Hour Challenge meant going without food for 40 hours. However, over the years, people have become creative, finding fun new challenges such as giving up screens, furniture or technology for 40 hours. Or how about living out of a backpack, doing 40 good deeds, or taking a 40-hour vow of silence – whatever your idea is, just go for it!
So far, more than 3 million New Zealanders have participated and over $80 million has been raised – helping to transform thousands of lives both here in New Zealand, and around the world.

Great work researching WorldVision and understanding the work they do to help children in need.
I enjoyed reading your sentences about the work that they do and the reason why they are in Uganda.
You were meant to write about 3 more countries that WorldVision support. Please add this information to your blog post.
Keep up the awesome mahi.
