Ambassador Council
Support for WHH's network
The Welthungerhilfe Ambassador Council consists of 30 members who advise Welthungerhilfe on a voluntary basis. The members are from the fields of business, politics or culture to represent the breadth of the German public. They support Welthungerhilfe's Board of Directors and Executive Management by bringing even more emphasis to our voice in the fight against hunger and poverty around the world. They carry our issues into different networks and are available as contact persons at events.
