Feeding The Hungry

Globally, food deprivation still claims a child’s life every three seconds and nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 are attributable to undernutrition. Hunger and malnutrition are the biggest risks to health worldwide – greater than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. Undernutrition is the cause of around 45% of deaths among children under five. Children who live in extreme poverty in low-income countries, especially in remote areas, are more likely to be underfed and malnourished.
