Hunger is a perilous cycle that passes from one generation to the next: Families who struggle with chronic hunger and malnutrition consistently go without the nutrients their minds and bodies need, which then prevents them from being able to perform their best at work, school, or to improve their lives.
What effect is COVID-19 having on the global hunger crisis?
As Coronavirus, or COVID-19, continues to spread around the world, it is now reaching countries most vulnerable to the health and economic impact of the virus. People fleeing conflict, living in poverty or without access to healthcare face greater risk from this pandemic.
Our response to COvid-19
In response to the crisis, there are foundations where we can donate to. Foundations which are focusing efforts on protecting health, which includes public outreach, clean water and sanitation services. Teams that are on the front lines, meeting immediate needs such as cash distributions to provide families with food, soap and health care. Human heros, which strengthen economies by supporting smallholder farmers and small businesses through this crisis.
