Risk of death from common infections, stunted growth, impaired cognitive ability, and overall bad health are just a few of the devastating consequences faced by hungry families around the world every single day.

More than  820 million  people worldwide –  that’s 1 in 9!  – don’t know where their next meal will come from, even more –  1 in 3 – suffer from some form of malnutrition.

The global hunger crisis is real, and it’s growing  

Long before the pandemic a majority of poor population , knew the gnawing fear of hunger. It was an omnipresent force, an unrelenting source of anxiety as majority of poor population struggled to nourish themselves because of extremely low income.

But when the coronavirus arrived in March, taking the lives of their neighbors and shutting down of the market in lockdown countrywide. Earnings plunged to almost nothing. Most evenings, they brought home only bread. Some nights, they returned with nothing.Their children screaming in hunger, but there is nothing that they can do, “That is not just situation of one family, but it is the reality for most of the families where we live.”

It is increasingly the reality for hundreds of millions of people around the planet. As the global economy absorbs the most punishing reversal of fortunes since the Great Depression, hunger is on the rise. Those confronting potentially life-threatening levels of so-called food insecurity in the developing world are expected to nearly double this year to 265 million, according to the  United Nations World Food Program.

Marasim  major concern is to fight back against poverty, violence, and inequality across the country – and  as hunger and chronic malnutrition continue to threaten the countries most vulnerable populations, we’re geared to scale up  our fight for food security.
