3. What is Hunger
 Undernourishment is a less visible form of hunger
 Hunger also weakens the immune system
 Malnutrition - venerable to diseases
 Leads to lack of energy by slowing down its physical and
mental activities, loses all desire to play and study.

4. Who is hungry
 Surprisingly, three-quarters of all hungry people live in rural
areas, mainly in the villages of Asia and Africa.
 146 million children in developing countries are underweight
 Women are the world's primary food producers thus women
are much more affected by hunger and poverty than men

5. What causes hunger
Food wastage
 One third of all food produced (1.3 billion tons) is never
consumed. This food wastage represents a missed
opportunity to improve global food security in a world where 1
in 8 is hungry.
Climate and weather
 Natural disasters such as floods, tropical storms and long
periods of drought are on the increase -- with negative
consequences for the hungry poor in developing countries.

6. What causes hunger
Poverty trap
 People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious food for
themselves and their families. This makes them weaker and
less able to earn the money that would help them escape
poverty and hunger.
War and displacement
 Across the globe, conflicts consistently disrupt farming and
food production, forces millions of people to flee their homes

7. Strategic Plan
The Plan lays out four objectives:
 1. Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies;
 2. Support food security and nutrition and build
livelihoods in fragile settings and following emergencies
 3. Reduce risk and enable people, communities and
countries to meet their own food and nutrition needs
 4. Reduce under nutrition and break the
intergenerational cycle of hunger with education for the
young ones.

9. Hunger Deaths
 There is enough food for the world (most food wasted)
 Sadly it is not spread out evenly
 About 21,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-
related causes
 This is one person every four seconds
 It is children who die more often

10. Fund Raising
 Donate money to WFP
 Play a game to donate free grains for rice and a meal
 Every dollar donated to WFP has a big impact in the fight
against hunger. You can give with confidence and be sure
that your money is being put to good use.
