- Over 900 million people do not have enough food to eat according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. 98% of the world's hungry live in developing countries and 65% live in just 7 countries including India, China, and Ethiopia.
- Hunger is the number one risk to health worldwide, greater than diseases like AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. Malnutrition impairs development and increases risk of disease and early death.
- Hunger has crushing economic impacts on developing nations as malnutrition stunts children's growth and potential lifetime earnings by 5-10%.

The Compassion International Difference: Fighting Poverty Worldwide
Compassion International allows individuals to sponsor children in need around the world, impacting over a million children by providing education and healthcare. Poverty affects over 1.4 billion people, especially women and children, who make up almost half the population in developing countries. Each day, about 10,000 women die in childbirth and 10,000 newborns perish within a month, with over nine million children under five dying each year, two-thirds preventably. Compassion International enables sponsors to change these statistics for over $1 per day by ensuring children get food and education.
World hunger facts
Hunger has three meanings: the uneasy feeling from lack of food, the strong desire for food, and the lack of food in a country. Over 1 billion people do not get enough to eat, more than the populations of the US, Canada, and European Union combined. The number of undernourished people increased by 75 million from 2007 to 2008 due to higher food prices. Undernutrition contributes to 53% of deaths of children under 5 in developing countries, meaning one child dies every six minutes from malnutrition. Poor nutrition causes nearly 1 in 3 people to die prematurely or have disabilities. 10.9 million children under 5 die in developing countries each year, and malnutrition is a factor in 60% of those deaths.

For almost 40 years, Action Against Hunger has been leading the fight against hunger in nearly 50 countries, saving lives and helping communities become self-sufficient. In 2016 alone, they improved food security for over 2.6 million people worldwide.

The document discusses the hunger crisis in Haiti, with three key points:
1) Only 50% of Haiti's population has access to safe drinking water and 3 million people may need food assistance after the earthquake.
2) 55% of Haiti's 9 million people live below the poverty line of $1 per day and 1.9 million were already food insecure before the quake.
3) Food riots erupted in countries around the world in 2010 as food pantries in the US warned they were running out of supplies.
Say 'NO' to HUNGER!
Over 870 million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat, with Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa most affected. Hunger disproportionately impacts women and children, contributing to millions of child deaths each year. Malnutrition is the leading global health risk, even exceeding diseases like AIDS and malaria. Several organizations work to alleviate hunger, including Action Against Hunger which treats malnourished individuals and increases access to water/sanitation for millions annually. While progress has been made, hunger remains a severe global problem.
