Forty percent of the people on our planet — more than 2.5 million — now live in poverty, struggling to survive on less than $2 a day.

Step into the world where food is often scarce and difficult decisions have to be made every day. Oxfam's interactive educational experience A Seat at the Table illustrates the root causes of global poverty and hunger, and let’s you navigate the choices that will determine how much you and your family will eat.

Based on the enormously popular Oxfam America Hunger Banquet event, A Seat at the Table helps participants learn about the day-to-day struggles facing millions. You may meet Gloria Narua from Mozambique who is raising her children alone and worrying that the recent poor rains will ruin her small harvest. Or, you might help Alfredo Garcia Cuchuman as he struggles to make a living growing coffee in Guatemala.

The Oxfam America Hunger Banquet event, a unique and memorable event, allows organizers and participants alike to experience firsthand how our decisions affect others in the world. To learn more about Oxfam America Hunger Banquet events and receive free resources to host your own click here.
