[NEWS] HUNGER TO HOPE: NEW CHRISTINA AGUILERA PSA
[SMART-PHONE FRIENDLY]
The new PSA includes footage from Aguilera’s recent field visit to Rwanda where she witnessed the effects of hunger first hand and helped beneficiaries of WFP’s nutrition programs. Aguilera served food to hungry children who walk miles to and from school each day to receive a hot meal through WFP’s school meals program. She also traveled to a refugee camp that houses more than 18,000 people living in small man-made huts. She spent time with mothers and children at the camp and heard about how they escaped violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Aguilera’s inspirational song, “Light Up the Sky,” plays throughout the :15 and :30 versions of the PSA that will air on television and online this fall.
In addition to the new public service announcement, Aguilera raises awareness for the issue through new World Hunger Relief posters at KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants with the quote “Together, we have the power to save lives and move from hunger to hope,” plus advertising and online efforts.
She has served as global spokesperson for Yum! Brands’ World Hunger Relief effort since 2009 where her participation has helped raise millions for WFP and other hunger relief agencies. She also serves as an “Ambassador Against Hunger” for WFP where she has traveled on relief trips with the organization to Guatemala, Haiti and Rwanda.
"I’m deeply moved by the many hungry mothers and children that I met in Rwanda. My goal with Yum! Brands’ World Hunger Relief is to inspire as many people as possible to donate to the cause and move millions of children from hunger to hope. It’s important for people to know that for just 25 cents a day, we can feed a child in school and be part of the solution."

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA LENDS POWERFUL VOICE FOR WORLD HUNGER RELIEF THIS SEPTEMBER
MUMBAI: Yum! Brands, the world’s largest restaurant company and parent of KFC and Pizza Hut, announced that multi-Grammy Award winner and pop superstar Christina Aguilera is giving hunger a powerful voice by filming a new Public Service Announcement for the Company’s World Hunger Relief effort that benefits the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and other hunger relief agencies.
Yum! Brands’ annual fall World Hunger Relief effort is the world’s largest private sector hunger relief initiative, spanning 110 countries, approximately 38,000 KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants and more than one million employees, to raise awareness, volunteerism and funds for WFP and others. Consumers can visit www.FromHungertoHope.com or donate in the restaurants this fall.
There are nearly 1 billion hungry people around the world today. Hunger and malnutrition are the number one risk to health worldwide – greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Among the key causes of hunger are natural disasters, conflict, poverty, poor agricultural infrastructure and over–exploitation of the environment. Despite significant economic progress in the past decade, India is home to about 25 percent of the world's hungry poor.
“As a mother, the idea that even one child could go to bed hungry is unacceptable and that's why I'm so passionate about fighting global hunger. I'm excited about my new PSA for World Hunger Relief and hope it will raise more awareness about the issue and move millions of people from hunger to hope." said Christina Aguilera, the global ambassador for “Yum! Brands World Hunger Relief effort.
Christina has served as global spokesperson for Yum! Brands’ World Hunger Relief effort since 2009 where her participation has helped raise nearly $50 million for WFP and other hunger relief agencies. She also serves as an “Ambassador Against Hunger” for WFP where she has traveled on relief trips with the organization.
“The fact that India alone is the home to a quarter of the world’s undernourished population is disheartening. Every year through various awareness and fund raising initiatives across the country, we address this grave issue. In 2010 we raised Rs 1 crore through our brands Pizza Hut, PHD, KFC and Taco Bell and every rupee raised was directed towards United Nations Food Program’s operations for fighting hunger in India. This year we aim to make the initiative bigger through on-ground events and even the digital media.” said Niren Chaudhary, Managing Director - India at Yum! Brands.
In an attempt to make this initiative bigger and stronger, the Yum! family in India will once again come together this September to spread the awareness and generate funds to help more families across the country to lead a more healthy life.
Since World Hunger Relief launched in 2007, Yum! has collected nearly $85 million, more than one million of the Company’s employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered more than 21 million hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. The effort has helped WFP and other hunger relief organizations to provide over 350 million meals and save the lives of millions of people in remote corners of the world.
WFP is the largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. Each year, on average, WFP feeds more than 90 million people in more than 70 countries.

The exclusive luncheon will host four-hundred invite-only guests made up of Hollywood insiders and talent, to celebrate, support and pay tribute to Aguilera and others in the entertainment industry for utilizing their positions to further awareness and affect change for various charitable causes.
"As a mom, I can’t accept that even one child could go hungry or that a child dies every six seconds from hunger. That’s why I’m so passionate about this cause,” said Aguilera. "World Hunger Relief makes a huge difference by providing relief for millions of hungry people, especially schoolchildren in developing countries. I hope by lending my voice to this cause I can raise awareness and move millions of people and children from hunger to hope,” added Aguilera.
"We congratulate Christina for her recognition at Variety’s Power of Women for her passion to fight world hunger,” said David Novak, Chairman and CEO, Yum! Brands, Inc. "We are thankful for Christina’s partnership to help us raise attention to the critical hunger issue and save millions of lives.”

Global hunger has reached epic proportions this year – with more than 1 billion hungry people around the world – due to the convergence of the global economic slowdown; high food prices; increased competition for products that produce energy; severe droughts and floods due to climate change; and increasing demand from growing economies in Asia and South America.

Foundation will be covering WFP’s administrative fee so that funds collected online and at its restaurants will go directly towards feeding poor school children in the developing world and helping villages become self-sustainable. Every U.S. dollar raised will provide four meals for hungry children.
Since World Hunger Relief launched in 2007, more than 1 million of the Company’s employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered more than 9 million hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. The effort has raised $36 million for WFP and other hunger relief organizations and is helping to provide approximately 160 million meals and save the lives of about 4 million people in remote corners of the world.
