World Hunger Day 2024
Tuesday 28th May is World Hunger Day, an opportunity for all of us around the world to play our part in ending world hunger, for good. For World Hunger Day 2024, we’re shining a light on nutrition for new and expecting mothers with our theme Thriving Mothers, Thriving World. By investing in women, we can break the cycle of hunger and create a world where we all thrive.
More than 1 billion adolescent girls and women suffer from malnutrition today. Malnutrition is one of the biggest contributors to the cycle of chronic hunger. The effects are passed down from mother to child. Malnourished mothers give birth to malnourished babies. These children suffer irreversible impacts on their brain development and futures. It creates a cycle of chronic hunger.
The good news is we can end malnutrition. We work to ensuring that mothers have access to information and nutritious foods for themselves and their babies is the most effective way to break the cycle of malnutrition.
