WHAT WE ARE FACING
Every day, 800 million go hungry. One in seven people
do not get enough food to lead a healthy active life.
Hunger and malnutrition is the number one risk to
health worldwide -- greater than AIDS, malaria and
tuberculosis combined. Even in the United States,
36 million people, including 13 million children,
live in households where people skip meals or eat
less to make ends meet.
DID YOU KNOW?
- 790 million people in the developing world are
chronically undernourished
- 41 % of malnourished children live in conflict-torn
regions
- 16 % of infants in developing countries suffer
from acute malnutrition
- 150 million children worldwide are underweight
