Zero hunger
66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone. That's 66 million children aged around 5-11 going to school starving. Imagen if you had to go to school or work without breakfast and probably without lunch as well. How would you feel? That's how 66 million children feel everyday. If there are 23 million children starving just in Africa right now imagen how much that number will grow in even 6 years if we don't do something about it. But that's not it. Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness and exacerbate disease.
Did you know that poor nutrition causes nearly half (45 per cent) of deaths in children under five and approximately 3.1 million children die from undernutrition each year. That's a lot of people dying just because they can get enough food and it's not only a problem in developing countries, it’s spreading because of how much people today consume. Right now someone is struggling to feed their children while some else is enjoying a feast.
The problem is huge, it's an overwhelming crime and it definitely seems daunting, engulfing. Food is part of what keeps us alive and why should we have to give up some of our food? But if the world continues to feed the wealthy while the poor can't even afford food, then imagen how we will be living in 18 years. Do you want your children, grandchildren growing up where food is something that they have to fight for? Didn't think so.
This problem is not just people dying because of hunger. There are also a lot of problems that low nutrition causes. Such as, if you don't have enough food then your immune system grows weaker or you might run out of engeny.
