INTERNATIONAL HUNGER RELIEF RAMADAN - AFRICA

Hunger in Africa

Nearly a quarter of the population of sub-Saharan Africa is undernourished, driven by long-term structural poverty, climate change, poor infrastructure, and conflict. At least several hundreds of thousands of African children die of hunger-related causes each year, while one out of every four children under the age of 5 is underweight. The hunger crisis in Africa is one of our world’s most urgent challenges.

44,000 people in Africa provided nutritious food packages during Ramadan 2024
