End World Hunger
Hunger and poverty typically go hand in hand. Social, demographic, and societal factors all work together to create the perfect storm that causes hunger. People living in poverty frequently face food insecurity, and live in unsafe environments that have low access to quality water, sanitation, and hygiene, and inadequate access to health services and education – all of which contribute to hunger. Check out these worldwide statistics from Action Against Hunger:

As many as 811 million people go to bed hungry each night.
