One billion people suffer from malnutrition and 24,000 starve to death
every day.
Extremely poor families simply don't have enough food. You can help.

Women
eat last and least, even when pregnant and nursing; undernourished
mothers give birth to undernourished children so the hunger cycle
continues, according to Joan Holmes, President of the Hunger
Project. Women produce 80% of the food in Africa, and over
50% of the farm output in South Asia, yet they are denied the training,
credit and tools they need to end their families’ hunger.
