Hunger Busters, Join Together to End World Hunger!

Action Against Hunger is a global non-profit organization which leads the world in the ongoing fight against hunger by providing access to food, clean water, and sustainable solutions in over 45 countries.
Action Against Hunger tackles global hunger, an extremely important social issue which affects an estimated “35% of the global population” (Concern Worldwide U.S., 2024).
Malnutrition remains one of the most prevalent issues among youth on a global scale. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2023, “nearly half of deaths among children under 5 years old are linked to malnutrition.”
Poverty is simultaneously a cause and effect of malnutrition. The World Health Organization emphasizes that “people who are poor are more likely to be affected by different forms of malnutrition,” and that malnutrition can result in snowballing issues such as increased healthcare costs and reduced productivity/increased lethargy, both of which only perpetuate the cycle of poverty and malnutrition. By supporting Action Against Hunger, donors can help to interrupt and put a stop to this cycle by directly providing for those in need.
The Disasters & Emergencies that hit the world unexpectedly ; forces displacement, disruption of food production, causes damages to infrastructure and increases health risk. “Cyclone Batsirai left thousands of people in severe and urgent need of aid in Madagascar. Our teams stepped up to help, especially in the east, where destroyed harvests could cause hunger” (Action Against Hunger, n.d.-b). Addressing these challenges requires coordinated efforts to provide immediate relief and support long-term recovery and resilience-building in affected communities, Action Against Hunger aims to mitigate the impact of disasters and help communities become more resilient.
The money we make from our campaign will be donated to the organization's page via their preferred method. Once our donation is submitted the organization splits the donations up in many ways. $0.90 of every dollar donated goes directly to their field programs. Every $50 raised funds a full course of Ready-To-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF)(Action Against Hunger, 2024).
Nour’s Story
We would like to highlight an article published by Action Against Hunger which follows a young lady named Nour during her time of struggle because of war in Lebanon. On October 8, 2023, Nour moved into her new home as a new bride alongside her husband. Tragically, that was the same day that the crisis in Lebanon really began, and their new home was destroyed in an airstrike only days later. For Nour, the loss was devastating - not only did they lose their new home, they lost memories and security. “It felt like all the hard work and effort we put into choosing every corner of that house was lost,” she said (Action Against Hunger, 2024). Nour has seen more than many would believe, yet she says that although she has been displaced there are others who have it worse. It was during this hardship that Action Against Hunger began providing support to those displaced by the conflict, and Nour was able to witness the impact that the food, clean water and hygiene kits had on the community. Nour now continues to work with Action Against Hunger in an effort to help others receive the same help she once needed. By supporting our campaign, you can directly help Action Against Hunger provide assistance to people like Nour; together, we can help provide the resources they need to survive and rebuild.
