Welthungerhilfe celebrated its 55 years on the 14th of December 2017. The anniversary was commemorated at various country offices of the organisation across the globe.
Welthungerhilfe’s staff marked the day in their own way. The India team celebrated it with a floral rangoli and by sharing pictures on social media platforms.
The 55th anniversary also offered an opportunity to various teams across the globe to celebrate the achievements thus far and to reaffirm their commitment to working for a world without hunger.
