DESA NGO

No one should have to go hungry, especially in a world with as much wealth as ours. But the sad reality is that more than 821 million people are currently suffering from hunger. That’s one in nine people on earth who don’t have enough to eat.

Hunger is a complex problem with many root causes, including poverty, conflict, and climate change. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but there are things that we can all do to help bring an end to world hunger — and opportunities to create systemic change.

While world hunger is a massive and complex problem, it’s important to remember that each and every one of us can do something about it — whether through combating food waste, advocating for fair policies, or supporting nonprofits. These inspiring quotes remind us of the importance of acknowledging the problem and working together to fight this global justice issue

“Food is national security. Food is economy. It is employment, energy, history. Food is everything.”

“Our work with the poor and the incarcerated has persuaded me that the opposite of poverty is not wealth; the opposite of poverty is justice. ”

MISSION We connect people around the world in the fight to end poverty. Working together, we invest in the lives of children and youth, build the healthy environments they need to thrive, and empower them to create lasting change in their own lives and communities.

VISION We seek a world of hope, inclusion, and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live with dignity and security.

VALUES We believe in urgent action, innovation, and the necessity of transformation—within the world and our own organization
