About World Hunger Day
842 million, one eighth
of the world’s population live in extreme hunger and poverty and exist on less
than 80 pence a day. Hunger kills more people
than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Millions of women, men and childrendie each year because of
chronic persistent hunger – TWO million are children.
Of the thousands of people who live in
hunger and poverty, 10 percent are suffering from famine or from the high profile emergency
crises that we are sadly all too familiar with.
However, particularly
whilst the focus of the world is on high profile crises, it is vital that we
recognise that, even today, the 90 percent majority of those suffering with hunger and poverty are
living in other parts of the world, not affected by famine, earthquake or
flood, but because of the chronic persistent hunger that exists in the
developing world, in particular, Africa, South Asia and Latin America.
Chronic, persistent
hunger is not due merely to lack of food. It occurs when people lack opportunity to earn enough
income, to be educated and gain skills, to meet basic health needs and have a
voice in the decisions that affect their community.
World Hunger Day is
about raising awareness of this situation. It is also about
celebrating the achievements of millions of people who are already ending their
own hunger and meeting their basic needs.
World Hunger Day seeks to inspire people in both the developed and
developing worlds to show their solidarity and support to enable many more to
end their own hunger and poverty and make the journey to self-reliance.
Additionally, we hope
that World Hunger Day, will encourage even
more organisations to work in partnership with each other and with the women,
men and children in the developing world who seek to bring about a sustainable
end to their own hunger and poverty.
The Hunger Project is
delivering ground breaking results in full support of the Millennium
Development Goals, mobilising rural communities at the grassroots level – watch
