Hunger
Action Against Hunger’s programs focus on the most vulnerable, including young children, pregnant women and young mothers.
On the list of the world’s top 10 health risks, hunger continues to occupy the first position. One out of eight people go to sleep hungry every night despite living in a world where there is enough food to feed all of us. Hunger, or undernutrition, is a result of insufficient intake of macro and micro nutrients. It can, and often does, lead to chronic malnutrition or severe wasting associated with acute malnutrition.
Latest Update
Over one million children under the age of five die due to malnutrition-related causes in India every year.
