Leaving a gift in your Will is a wonderful way to leave an ongoing legacy in your name after you’ve gone.
It’s about wanting to leave the world in a better state for those who follow, and who may not have what you have.
Leaving a gift, no matter how large or small, will make a real difference towards creating a world without hunger.
It will fund projects that support women’s empowerment, ending the forced marriage of girls and health clinics that save lives.
What a beautiful expression of a life well lived, and well shared.
Take a moment to listen to why long-term investors, Miles & Deborah Protter, have decided to leave a gift in their Will to The Hunger Project Australia.
“When we decided to include The Hunger Project in our Will, I felt like our children and grandchildren are going to be provided for, but so are the people who don’t have what they have.”
Veronica, aged 72 from Ghana, has witnessed the progress in her village since The Hunger Project, in collaboration with the Adonkwanta community, embarked on their journey to Self-Reliance, which they reached Self-Reliance in 2022.
“We now have a bank, a health clinic, and recently, we even got internet access. In the past, making ends meet was sometimes a challenge for me.
However, through agricultural training, the yield from my land has increased. I learned to plant my corn more efficiently and started practicing organic farming.”
Veronica, aged 72 from Ghana, has witnessed the progress in her village since The Hunger Project, in collaboration with the Adonkwanta community, embarked on improving living conditions in 2009. This community reached Self-Reliance in 2022.

However, through agricultural training, the yield from my land has increased. I learned to plant my corn more efficiently and started practicing organic farming.”
Veronica and her husband, Simon, currently live in a relatively small house. However, they are constructing a new and larger one. “This is possible because I now earn more and save more. Financial management training has certainly helped with that.”
“Our new house will have more space for our children and grandchildren, allowing them to move in with us. That would be nice for me and my husband – after all, we are getting older.”
“For the young people in the village, I hope their situation and prospects continue to improve, with opportunities for a good education and better income.”
Making or changing your will to include a gift to The Hunger Project Australia could be as simple as contacting your legal advisor, or you can create a free will online.
It is important that your bequest gift is worded correctly, and the following is recommended as a guide. You may give this wording to your solicitor who is preparing your Will.
“I give to The Hunger Project Australia, ABN 45 002 569 271,
for which the receipt of the Treasurer or other authorised officer shall be an absolute discharge.”
Your legacy will help create a world without hunger, now and for future generations.
Working together, we can make the world better, fairer and more equitable for every person; no matter where they were born or their gender.
