Globally, 1 in 11 people go to bed hungry every night, 1 out of 5, in Africa.

Why are so many people hungry? Armed conflict. Soaring food prices. Disease. Natural disasters. In places like Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, hunger is surging — and children are at greatest risk. Malnutrition steals their health, futures, and even their lives. But together, we can fight back.

Just CA$792 a year can help feed a family of five in fragile communities, in partnership with the World Food Programme.†

Be the spark. Fuel hope. Help end hunger.
