Why hunger?

It’s unacceptable that, in a world that produces enough food to feed its entire population, over 3 billion people can’t even afford the cheapest healthy diet.

Poor diets and malnutrition aren’t a matter of personal choices – the world’s poorest people simply can’t access or afford to eat a healthy diet.

Malnutrition is a direct threat to every child’s right to good health and wellbeing. It can hold back their life chances and prospects for escaping poverty, denying them the chance to build a better future and help their communities prosper.

Together we can change this.

How we’re making change happen

For over 40 years, we’ve led the global fight against hunger.

In 2019, we helped more than 17 million people in 46 countries around the world through our innovative programmes.

Our global efforts save hundreds of thousands of lives each year, but millions of undernourished children remain in need of life-saving treatment.
