Food is a human right
735 million people go hungry worldwide
148 million children under the age of five are undernourished. 8,000 children die every day as a result of malnutrition and undernourishment. We are committed to food security and the fight against hunger (Goal 2 of the SGDs).
Hunger is more than an empty stomach
Hunger is a constant companion for millions of people. It poses an acute health risk and hinders their development. Infants and children are particularly at risk: chronic malnutrition at an early age has lifelong physical and psychological consequences.
Hunger and poverty are linked
When food is no longer available or affordable and poverty is increasing, children have to contribute to the livelihood. This means that they work instead of going to school, girls are married off early and, in the worst cases, children are sold to human traffickers.

A large proportion of ora Kinderhilfe's projects are aimed at ensuring food security. A healthy and balanced diet forms the basis for good physical, mental and emotional development. Well-fed children grow and learn better. They are better able to cope with illness and help shape their environment.
