Over 925 million people worldwide, or about 1 in 7 people, suffer from hunger. Children and women make up a large portion of the hungry, with children accounting for 25% and women over 60%. While efforts through organizations like Heifer International aim to cut global hunger in half by 2015, the global economic crisis has impacted progress. Heifer International helps over a million families per year in over 50 countries gain livestock, training, and technology to produce food and generate income.
