Hunger is such a large issue, one that impacts people all over the world. The statistics on food instability, especially in developing countries, is staggering. The World Food Programme reports:- Some 805 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth.
- Poor nutrition causes nearly half (45%) of deaths in children under five -- 3.1 million children each year.
- 66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.
Although hunger is a very serious issue around the world, the United States is no exception. People in our local communities, neighborhoods and schools are going hungry every day.
