In the Middle East, suffering does not pick sides. Whether it is a people seeking retribution for grotesque acts of violence or a militant group seeking redress for years of deprivation and oppression, the suffering, both individual and collective, is shared in common.
Acute hunger transfixes our entire organism, pushing everything else aside in favor of our most basic urge for survival. When we’re gripped by extreme hunger, we can think of nothing but food, have no interest in anything but food, and dream of nothing other than a decent meal.
All of us at BGR offer our warmest and deepest thanks to all of our supporters who participated in Buddhist Global Relief’s online special event, “Creating a World That Works for Everyone.”
By Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi • The work of compassion requires that we see the individuality of each person in the world, making visible both their humanity and their suffering.
At BGR's annual Projects Meeting, Buddhist Global Relief, with our European partner Mitgefuhl in Aktion, approved funding for 60 projects to relieve hunger, educate children, empower vulnerable girls and women, and support sustainable agriculture for people around the globe.
As a result of the war in Ukraine, climate shocks, economic instability, political conflict, and global pandemic, nations around the world are facing what the U.N. has called "a global hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions."
Like many of you, we at Buddhist Global Relief are closely following the invasion of Ukraine. We offer a list of several excellent organizations that are on the ground assisting Ukrainians during this crisis.
This winter, supporters of Buddhist Global Relief from around the world came together to create an online “Peace and Love Concert” to benefit BGR.
On October 15, 2021, BGR Chair Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi and Executive Director Kim Behan jointly received the prestigious Dr. Ambedkar Prabuddha Bharata Peace Award.
A project titled Enhancing Capacities of Rural Women in Kenya provided training to 840 women farmers and kitchen gardeners, many of whom reported that their children had been hungry before and now have sufficient food.
