Feed the Children has been dedicated to helping end child hunger in the US and around the world since 1979. In America alone, there are more than 15 million households that don’t have enough food to feed the entire family. Currently operating in all 50 states, their work outside the US focuses in 10 different countries throughout Central America and Caribbean, Asia and Africa.
93% of all donations go directly to feeding children in need. Their work includes education, disaster relief, health, clean water and poverty.
Currently the World Health Organization estimates nutrition deficiencies affect more than 2 billion people around the world. They also estimate nearly 15,000 children under the age of 5 die every day from preventable diseases.
Not only is health and food a concern but Feed the Children also helps to fight poverty through education in the communities they help and child-based community programs they implement. By definition extreme poverty means living on $1.90 per day or less. UNICEF estimates more than 387 million children are current affected by extreme poverty or nearly 19.5% of all the children in the world.
