Hungry For Change: An eight-step, costed plan of action to tackle global child hunger
More than 178 million children are currently suffering from chronic malnutrition, which contributes to a third of all child deaths globally. According to the report, a total of £150 would give a hungry child the right kind of food and support to stop them from dying from malnutrition and protect their brains and bodies from being permanently damaged by hunger.
Half of the world’s hungry children live in just eight countries; Afghanistan, Bangladesh, DRC, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Sudan and Vietnam. The Hungry for Change report reveals that it would cost £5.25 billion a year to combat child hunger in these countries and dramatically reduce the number of children who are stunted or malnourished.
