“There is no worse experience than being a father who cannot provide for his family.”

Asha has recently located to Australia from Africa, forced out of his country due to impending threat to him and his family. From that moment on, they became food insecure. Displacement created many struggles. He lost his dignity, was refused the ability to belong in a community, and unfortunately suffered extreme hunger for most of his life.

In an interview, he stated that his family had no way to trust there would be enough food on the table the following day for many years:

“Not only does hunger have a negative impact on the well-being of any human being, but it affects the whole cycle of life. It brings with it psychological torture, health issues and paralyzes the harmony of the family.”

The experience of constant hunger strongly shaped Asha’s perspective on life and the world around him. He stated: “All the inequalities, exploitation and abuse of human rights in most cases has come from greed, a desire to accumulate all the resources and not share them equitably.”

No one should ever have to know the burden of an empty plate and lack of hope to gain access to food.
