WHY HUNGER

Food insecurity is when individuals, families and entire populations have to go without eating due to lack of money, and access to food or other resources.

690 million people go to bed hungry every single night. By joining the Share A Meal movement, we can change that together.

Hunger is the world's worst pandemic. Since the global pandemic hit, nations around the world have urged us not to forget that hunger poses a bigger risk to them than the coronavirus.

It is a fundamental right of everyone to be free from hunger - to have physical and economic access to adequate food.

Yet an estimated 821 million people around the world, many of whom are children, go to bed hungry every single night.

An estimated 14 million children under the age of five worldwide suffer from severe acute malnutrition, also known as severe wasting, yet only 25 percent of severely malnourished children have access to lifesaving treatment.

Small farmers, herders, and fishermen produce about 70 percent of the global food supply, yet they are especially vulnerable to food insecurity – poverty and hunger are most acute among rural populations.

This is unfair - but it is also ENTIRELY preventable.
