End World Hunger

World hunger is going to increase if we don't stop it. There are 795 million people on the world who don't get enough food. Every 3.6 seconds some one dies.Some places that have hunger are Southern Asia , China, India, Eastern Asia and more.1.5 million children die every year of hunger.

According to the World Food Program every day too many men and women across the globe struggle to feed their children a nutritious meal. In a world where we produce enough food to feed everyone, 815 million people – one in nine – still go to bed on an empty stomach each night. Even more – one in three – suffer from some form of malnutrition.

Eradicating hunger and malnutrition is one of the great challenges of our time. Not only do the consequences of not enough – or the wrong – food cause suffering and poor health, they also slow progress in many other areas of development like education and employment.

In 2015 the global community adopted the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development to improve people’s lives by 2030. Goal 2 – Zero Hunger – pledges to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, and is the priority of the World Food Programme.

In Indonesia consists of a collection of islands in Southeast Asia and happens to be the fourth most populous countries in the world. While it’s largely a prosperous country, there is an alarming set of social and economic disparities, with many regions experiencing undernutrition, unemployment, chronic food insecurity and outright poverty. The end result is that 8 million Indonesian children under age five (36.8% of the population) suffer from malnutrition.

Poor water quality and inadequate sanitation are major factors underlying Indonesia’s high rates of undernutrition, with so many unprotected water sources and little infrastructure to guarantee access to clean drinking water. Another obstacle Indonesia faces is its susceptibility to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, droughts, and even volcanic eruptions.

Present in Indonesia since 1997, Action Against Hunger has long addressed Indonesia’s water, sanitation, and nutritional woes. Our objectives are to continue helping communities and government institutions improve their management of undernutrition, prepare for natural disasters, and develop effective emergency planning to reduce their risk from natural disasters and climate change.
