OUR INSPIRATION
We are inspired by the tears of over 1.02 billion people who are undernourished through a shortage of protein in the food they eat. This undernourishment is called Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM-from meat and other sources). PEM is the most lethal form of malnutrition/hunger. It is basically a lack of calories of protein. Food is converted into energy by humans, and the energy contained in food is measured by calories. Protein is necessary for key body functions including provision of essential amino acids and development and maintenance of muscles.
A released on October 14, 2009 reveals that1.02 billion people are undernourished- about 15 percent of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion people; Thus, marking a sizable increase from its 2006 estimate of 854 million people. When we look on the faces of children who have been the most visible victims of under nutrition; we have no option than to fight hunger. Research has revealed that Children who are poorly nourished suffer up to 160 days of illness each year. Poor nutrition plays a role in at least half of the 10.9- 15 million child deaths each year- (approximately- 5-8 million deaths). Under nutrition magnifies the effect of every disease, including measles and malaria. The estimated proportions of deaths in which under nutrition is an underlying cause are roughly similar for diarrhea (61%), malaria (57%), pneumonia (52%), and measles (45%). This disease reduces the body's ability to convert food into usable nutrients.
About 32.5 percent of children in developing countries are affected by hunger making a total of one of every three being affected by hunger. Geographically, more than 70 percent of malnourished children live in Asia, 26 percent in Africa and 4 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean. In many cases, their plight began even before birth with a malnourished mother. Under-nutrition among pregnant women in developing countries leads to one out of six infants born with low birth weight. This is not only a risk factor for neonatal deaths, but also causes learning disabilities, mental retardation, poor health, blindness and premature death. Even when the World's agriculture produces 17 percent more calories per person each day than it did 30 years ago, despite a 70 percent population increase. The 17 percent production of more calories of food is enough to provide everyone in the world with at least 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) of food per person in a day. The principal problem is that many people in the world do not have sufficient land to grow, or income to purchase the good food they need in a day
•In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty"

•Every year 15 million children die of hunger

•One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S goes to bed hungry every night and five out of every eight do same in Nigeria.

•Half of all children under five years of age 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 - a proportion unmatched by any infectious disease since the Black Death.

•About 183 million children weigh less than they should for their age.

•The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving- Since you've started reading this report at least 200 people have just died of starvation and over 4 million will die this year.
•One in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of five.

•The Indian subcontinent has nearly half the world's hungry people. Africa and the rest of Asia together have approximately 40%, and the remaining hungry people are found in Latin America and other parts of the world. Thus hunger in Global problem.

•And at Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger
•Nearly one in four of 1.3 billion people - a majority of humanity - live on less than $1 per day, while the world's 358 billionaires have assets exceeding the combined annual incomes of countries with 45 percent of the world's people.

•3 billion people in the world today struggle to survive on US$2/day.

•In 1994 the Urban Institute in Washington DC estimated that one out of 6 elderly people in the U.S. have inadequate diet. In Nigeria; the story is fatal.

•In the U.S. hunger and race are related. In 1991 46% of African-American children were chronically hungry, and 40% of Latino children were chronically hungry compared to 16% of white children.

•In Nigeria hunger and poverty are close friends. But we are living in the land of plenty.

•It is estimated that some 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition, about 100 times as many as those who actually die from it each year.

•The infant mortality rate is closely linked to inadequate nutrition among
Pregnant women. African-American infants die at nearly twice the rate of white infants. In the African continent; infant mortality is thrice the infant mortality of other continent.

•To give food to all humanity- the estimated cost would only amount US$13 billion- what the people of the United States and the European Union spend on perfume each year.

•The assets of the world's three richest men are more than the combined GNP of all the least developed countries on the planet.

•For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years.

•Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children died from illness and starvation. Those 100 million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the world spends on its military in two days!

•In 1997 alone, the lives of at least 300,000 young children were saved by vitamin A supplementation programs in developing countries.

•Today fight hunger initiative have started the journey in Nigeria and it begins from Akwa Ibom.
