Changing Their Lives Forever!
- Every year, 15 million children die of hunger.
- Every 6 seconds a child dies of starvation.
- Half of all children under age five in South Asia and one-third of those in sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished.
Malnutrition is implicated in more than half of all child deaths worldwide.
Stark … Dark … Statistics.
We read this data regarding starving children and are stunned. But what can we do about 15 million children? We shake our heads. We say a brief prayer. We walk away. The figure is simply overwhelming.
But what if we told you that it is not “numbers” that are starving, but that it is an emaciated infant named Alex Besa who was discovered after being dumped in a trash heap in Lusaka, Zambia? Can you do something to help Alex?
And what if we told you that for only 15 cents you could fill a child’s plate with nourishing food? You don’t feel like walking away any longer, do you?
We are not asking you to save millions of children, ONE AT A TIME, from the ravages of malnutrition. We are asking you to help us feed individual children in such places as Sudan, Philippines, Ethiopia, Haiti, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. This is the sole focus of Aid For Starving Children: To bring life-saving foodstuff to the most vulnerable and at risk children anywhere in the world. We have the network capable of delivering food to these remote and forgotten places but need your financial help to make it a reality.
