Hunger in Africa
“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity; it is an act of justice.” – Nelson Mandela
Stats:
About 38 million people in Africa are currently suffering from hunger.
Every 3.6 seconds, someone in the world dies from starvation.
1 in 12 people worldwide are malnourished.
Hunger is considered the number 1 health risk in the world.
Africa is the poorest continent in the world.
1 in 7 people will go to bed hungry tonight.
The Horn of Africa is where most famine is occurring on the continent.
Hunger kills more than AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria combined.
Africans who suffer from poverty usually depend on their subsistence farms, but they're not self-sufficient due to the lack of fertile land.
