Famine in Africa
Information
Did you know that a child dies from hunger every 13 seconds? Around the world there are 925 million people who are hungry. Most of these people that are affected are in Africa. 66 million primary school aged students attend school hungry every day. 23 million of those kids alone are from Africa. Famine kills more people every year than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. If women farmers had the same access to resources as men, the number of hungry people would reduce by up to 150 million. The people living with chronic hunger has declined by 130 million people over the past 20 years. Let's help find a way to keep reducing famine in Africa.
Children aren't getting enough to eat.
The water they drink is not clean which makes them sick.
The food they eat still doesn't have the healthy amount of nutrition.

How can I donate?
There are many ways you can donate towards this charity is to set up a one time donation, a monthly payments, or buying a gift in honor of a loved one. You can even donate a vehicle! That could be important to someone because people loose their vehicle in natural disasters. You can create a fundraising profile, set your goal of how much money to raise, and share it with your family and friends. That way others could give money in a different way than donating in a monthly way. By becoming involved you could change a starving persons life.
