We all know that millions of people around the world and in the US are hungry. But what else do we know about hunger and malnutrition?
The Bad News: Malnutrition is responsible for nearly half of all child deaths worldwide. At least 1 million malnourished children die every year because they lack access to the necessary treatment. And 17 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition, a deadly condition if not treated.
The Good News: Severe acute malnutrition has a cure. And organizations like Action Against Hunger | ACF International know when and where malnutrition is likely to strike. Together, we can restore severely malnourished children to health.
Action Against Hunger works to help children reach healthy adulthood and to contribute to the growth of productive families and nations. From rural mountain villages to the confines of refugee camps to ethnically divided cities, Action Against Hunger treats and prevents malnutrition in over 45 countries around the world. Their programs are launched most often during times of crisis and focus on the most vulnerable, including young children and women who are pregnant or nursing.
Even Better News: Fighting hunger is achievable. Just $45 can provide a full course of life-saving treatment for a malnourished child.

$45 can save a life?!
