Life without hunger is a human right. Nevertheless, around 733 million people worldwide go hungry. Together with our supporters, we have one goal: #ZeroHunger by 2030.
Every 13 seconds, a child under the age of five dies of hunger – this must stop. We can fight severe malnutrition effectively with emergency food and long-term relief measures.
By donating regularly, you ensure that our support is predictable and reliable. For children in particular, this means the chance of healthy development and a self-determined future.
You ensure predictable and reliable aid for people worldwide.
Your donation enables rapid response in the event of a disaster.
Your help is particularly efficient thanks to low administrative costs.
