Real families are experiencing real hunger
Displaced children are forced to weigh the odds of which life-threatening situation they will be subjected to. Sometimes the risk of going out to find food is too dangerous, but the risk of suffering malnutrition is just as worrying.
“I don’t eat every day because my mother has no money.”
Conflict, economic shocks, rising costs, and lasting pandemic effects continue to drive food insecurity. Sometimes families are faced with impossible choices.
“If you were starving and you knew that selling one of your kids could prevent the others from dying, would you do it?”
Tens of millions of children and their families are currently confronted with the real-life impacts of acute hunger.
“I feel deeply saddened by the number of children around me who are unable to attend school while struggling to secure their daily meals. For them, going to school is like a golden ticket.”
Edgar Sandoval Sr., president and CEO of World Vision, visits the hunger-impacted country of Kenya in July 2022.
