hunger factsHunger kills another child every 10 seconds. Every day, nearly 8,000 kids die because of hunger-related causes. These deaths are absolutely, 100% preventable.

More than 1 billion people go hungry every day. Many families depend entirely on what they can grow. Others can barely afford to buy food. Either way, hunger is anything but yesterday’s problem.

Hunger traps people in poverty. Around 1.4 billion people live on less than $1.25 a day—facing heart-rending choices between things like meals and medical care for their children.

We CAN banish hunger to the history books. There’s enough food. There are enough resources and know-how. There are enough of us who can raise our voices to !ght hunger. The question is: Will we?
