Enough food is produced globally to feed the planet but even so roughly 925 million people go to bed hungry every night. Hunger is a leading cause of death, killing an estimated 10 million people every year - more than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined.

  • A child dies of hunger every 5 seconds (U.N. World Food Programme -WFP)
  • 4 million new chronically hungry people per year (WFP)
  • One in four children in developing countries is underweight (UNICEF)
  • Most of the world's hungry are not short of food because of a one-off disaster or crop failure but because of chronic, long-term poverty that means they cannot afford the food that is readily available in their local markets.



    I dedicate this site to all the people who are suffering and dying of hunger.
    I do so because I could not fathom how Human Beings in great magnitude are suffering because they have nothing to eat and eventually die because of hunger...
    This phenomena is definitely can be avoided, if ever each one of us, has the heart to help those starving people. We have enough food for all the Humanity. But according to UN Report 925 million people go to bed hungry every night.
    This is my loud voice!

    Can You Feed The Hungry?

    I totally agree with what is said in this article. Although, I noticed that the pictures you have are not at all of Filipinos or the Philippines. It would be a shame to not report accurately, so I said something. I am Filipino, by the way... More power. I join you in your effort to be heard.
