July 2024 marked the 80th birthday of the World Bank, a publicly funded organisation created in 1944 to eradicate global poverty.
With a delegation of CAFOD supporters who also turned 80 this year, we visited its London headquarters to deliver a birthday message.
The CAFOD birthday card had thousands of messages from supporters, all of which supported one single message for the World Bank: put seeds back into the hands of farmers.
The global food system is broken. It doesn’t work for those who work the hardest – small farmers – and it’s a major driver of the climate emergency.
Pray with us for a fairer global food system where everyone has enough.
