How OneProsper is Using Dodgeballs to Hit Hunger

One Propser International is a Canadian charity founded in 2010, is launching a dodgeball tournament called Dodge for Hunger on World Food Day.

OneProsper International is increasing food security in the Thar Desert region of India where people are facing malnutrition and vitamin deficiency.  OneProsper International provides small farmers with innovative drip irrigation kits – enabling them to significantly increase food production while conserving water.
