Around 21,000 children die around the world every day from poverty, hunger, and preventable illnesses and diseases. This amounts to over 7 million child deaths per year. Several organizations are working to address this issue and help children living in poverty through initiatives like sponsoring children, donating food and clothing, and reducing food waste. Individuals can help support these organizations or participate in activities online like Free Rice, a website where answering questions correctly donates rice to feed the hungry.
