For longer than 5 years, MeeMaken has supported The Hunger Project Netherlands in her mission to end chronic hunger. Curious about what we have contributed to with our donations? We’ll tell you.

The first project we participated in was the Gbégourou project in Benin. The Gbégourou community has made significant progress over the years and has now become entirely self-reliant! Currently, we contribute to the Gewocha Forest Project with our donations. During this project, The Hunger Project works to restore the Gewocha forest in Ethiopia and make nearby communities self-reliant.

Also, in the past year, we worked together to support The Hunger Project Netherlands. We raised funds during the MeeMaken Energize events of 2022 & 2023. Colleagues engaged in sports activities to generate ‘energy’. Over the past two years, funds were raised through cycling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, hiking, swimming, running, and table football! In 2022, we raised €10,000, and in 2023, €12,000!

Additionally, colleagues have the opportunity every Christmas to donate their Christmas packages and the value of the package to the charity. Moreover, it’s also possible to donate a self-chosen amount via Tikkie. After the Christmas campaign, the MeeMaken group doubles the amount raised, and donates it fully to The Hunger Project Netherlands! Last year, we raised €5,000 euros this way.
