Global Hunger Statistics and Awareness
According to WorldHungerDay.org, more than 821 million people in the world do not have enough food, of which 60% of the world’s hungry are women, and 98% of the world’s unnourished live in developing countries.(1) First held on May 28, 2010, World Hunger Day is designed to raise awareness of the people worldwide experiencing chronic hunger. Furthermore, it seeks to celebrate sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty. The theme this year focuses on sustainability, the Hunger Project believes ending hunger is possible when we empower people to become agents of change, lifting themselves – and their communities – out of hunger and poverty for the long term.(2)

Provide meals, food baskets, and emergency nutrition support for families facing hunger.
Sustainable Development and Zero Hunger
The United Nations has laid out 17 sustainable development goals, the most relevant here being Goal 2: “Zero Hunger.”(3) The organization recognizes that relief groups need to do more than just simply feed people; they must help ensure ample food security and access to clean water and agricultural technology.
The modern world has the ability to successfully feed all 7 billion people, yet 11.3% are battling hunger and struggling to survive. Every year, millions of people around the world face hunger, but with the help of donors, they have a chance for a better life. This issue does not stop at hunger: It is also related to extreme poverty and lack of education, which results in the lack of knowledge necessary to access clean water and agricultural needs.
