Are you hungry? Did you know…
- 11.3% of the world’s population is hungry. That’s about 805 million people who go undernourished on a daily basis, consuming less than the recommended 2,100 calories a day.
- Roughly 98% of hungry people live in underdeveloped countries.
- When a mother is undernourished during pregnancy, the baby is often born undernourished, too. Every year, 17 million children are born this way due to a mother’s lack of nutrition before and during pregnancy.
- While hunger exists worldwide, 526 million hungry people live in Asia.
