A food charity provides food to those who need it or helps them to get access to the food they need.
Currently, there are many starving children in this world. Without adequate food and nutrition children can become sick, their growth & development can be stunted and they are at a higher great risk of death. The damage can be irreversible. We are one of the world hunger charities that focuses on ensuring the millions of children in the world who are going hungry, get the food they need to survive and thrive. Below is information on the work we do as a hunger charity for children and what makes the best hunger charities.
Save The Children has been championing children’s rights for over 100 years. We believe every child deserves a bright future and we work hard to fulfil our vision of a world in which every child lives, learns and is safe from harm. We help millions of children worldwide in over 100 countries - running evidence-based child-focused programs and providing life-saving aid when disaster strikes. Here is what we do as a hunger charity for children:
How we are helping starving children through our hunger charity
As a child hunger charity, we do what we can to reach as many children suffering from hunger as possible to provide the immediate food & nutrition they need. Importantly we are also lobbying the international community to address the root causes of food and nutrition insecurity.
As a world hunger charity, we currently have teams based in South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria and Yemen to stop children and their families from dying of hunger. Some of the aid we are providing includes:
- Providing life-saving food and nutrition to children suffering from life-threatening hunger
- Providing emergency nutrition and healthcare for severely malnourished children in our specialised treatment centres and Emergency Health Units
- Providing breastfeeding support programs to prevent and overcome chronic malnutrition
- Supporting parents so they can feed their families and children through our small business investment and farming program
- Providing humanitarian cash assistance for families
- Providing health and nutrition services to people living in remote communities
- Supporting treatment centres by training staff and providing life-saving supplies
Why we are one of the best hunger charities
With many countries around the world dealing with hunger crises, world hunger charities, especially those that focus on children, are some of the best hunger charities to support.
As a world hunger charity, all members of the Save The Children Association work through a single structure ensuring we are as efficient and effective as possible. This also enables us to take advantage of our global scale and international presence to make sure every dollar donated to us is invested to deliver the best possible outcomes for children suffering from hunger & malnutrition at the lowest possible cost.
Over 80% of donations made to our charity go directly towards program expenditure. We also have measures in place that ensure our ongoing accountability and produce evaluation reports to assess our program outcomes and ensure continual learning on the effectiveness of our interventions.
By supporting world hunger charities you know your donation is going to help those right across the world that need it most.
