HOUSE FOR HUNGER
In 2011, two-time Grammy Nominee Avicii, aka Tim Bergling, and his manager, Grammy nominated executive producer Ash Pournouri, created House for Hunger, a non-profit charity created to address the growing problem of global hunger.
Bergling and Pournouri felt that the values of generosity, love and unity that house music has always been about had been given short shrift by the media. They created House for Hunger to demonstrate the positivity of the music and its fans , while addressing the issue of hunger in a very concrete way.
There is enough food in the world today for everyone to have the food and nourishment they need, and yet there are over 870 million undernourished people in the world today. That means one in eight people do not get enough food to be healthy and lead an active life. Hunger and malnutrition are in fact the number one risk to the health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Even in wealthy countries, people go hungry every day.
House for Hunger is a conduit through which Bergling and Pournouri donate and raise funds which are then funneled to organizations that directly impact men, women and children around the world who suffer from daily undernourishment.
