Join the Fight to End World Hunger!

Hunger kills more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. 842 million people around the world do not have enough to eat. Hunger is a serious problem caused by poverty, food shortages, natural disasters, war and displacement, and unstable markets. Tackling hunger is daunting, but when we work together it can make a difference.

One such example comes from Benin, where 1 in every 3 children under the age of 5 suffers from chronic malnutrition. Plan Canada is working with grandmothers from all over the country because of their important role in passing on knowledge and values to children. They are teaching grandmothers to train their families in ways to prevent malnutrition, a project that is benefiting hundreds of communities.

“Since the project began in my village, we have seen a real improvement,” explains Philomena, a mother of 5 and grandmother to many more. “The number of children who suffered from malnutrition has gone down.”

Simple but powerful projects like this can transform our world and save children and families from hunger. Take action today: Stand with Plan Canada and help us spread the word about this important work in the fight against hunger!
