Hunger

Imagine waking up hungry without a solution to the pain. That is the harsh reality of 258 million people across 50 countries today. With food insecurity at its highest, we strive to not only meet the immediate needs of children and families but also work with them on sustainable solutions for the future.

Together, we reached 42,904 people in 2023, equipping them with tools and resources, like livestock and seeds, to sustain their food source.
