Do you crave direction, meaning and purpose in your life? Do you feel there is more to life than what society tells you? Do you have the urge to do something extraordinary? You’re ready to be awakened!

“Awaken is a personal development programme that enables participants to experience a richer and more rewarding life.”, says Millie Allbon, Awaken Programme Facilitator for The Hunger Project New Zealand (THPNZ).

“It’s a journey of discovering what you’re truly capable of. In the truest sense, it’s about waking up to your true self and the world around you.”

At the core of Awaken is a trip to one of The Hunger Project’s programme countries where participants witness how The Hunger Project (THP), in partnership with village partners, solve one of the world’s biggest challenges – hunger and poverty.

Participants meet people who, against all odds, are determined to transform their lives and create sustainable change for themselves, their communities and generations to come.

“The programme country visit, facilitated transformation workshops, networking with other fellow participants and your own personal reflection time, creates powerful meaning that will shape your view of the world.”, says Millie.

THPNZ only accepts 20 people to the programme and each participant is asked to fundraise or personally invest $10,000, which goes towards our global people and community programmes.

“We see fundraising and personally investing as a first commitment to people’s personal development as they have to step outside of their comfort zone, and develop the courage to have bold and ‘real’ conversations with others.”, Millie explains. 

“I’m thrilled to be facilitating the Awaken programme again in 2020. I believe that there is a role we can all play, a voice, a leader inside every one of us that when unlocked can move mountains. I hope you will be inspired to join me.”
