Q: Hunger Facts: InternationalWorld Hunger and Poverty: How They Fit Together854 million people across the world are hungry, up from 852 million a year ago.3Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes–one child every five seconds. 12In essence, hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food. 1Hunger manifests itself in many ways other than starvation and famine. Most poor people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness. 1Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger daily are usually poor and often lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens, food stamps, and job training programs. When a family that lives in a poor country cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help. 1Facts and Figures on Population Today our world houses 6.55 billion people. 2The United States is a part of the developed or industrialized world, which consists of about 57 countries with a combined population of about 1 billion, less than one sixth of the world’s population. 4 In contrast, approximately 5.1 billion people live in the developing world. This world is made up of about 125 low and middle-income countries in which people generally have a lower standard of living with access to fewer goods and services than people in high-income countries. 4 The remaining 0.4 billion live in countries in transition, which include the Baltic states, eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. 4 Facts and Figures on Hunger and PovertyWorldwide, more than 1 billion people currently live below the international poverty line, earning less than $1 per day. 9 Among this group of poor people, many have problems obtaining adequate, nutritious food for themselves and their families. As a result, 820 million people in the developing world are undernourished. They consume less than the minimum amount of calories essential for sound health and growth. 3 Undernourishment negatively affects people’s health, productivity, sense of hope and overall well-being. A lack of food can stunt growth, slow thinking, sap energy, hinder fetal development and contribute to mental retardation. 1 Economically, the constant securing of food consumes valuable time and energy of poor people, allowing less time for work and earning income. 1 Socially, the lack of food erodes relationships and feeds shame so that those most in need of support are often least able to call on it. 1Go to the World Food Programme website and click on either “Counting the Hungry” or “Interactive Hunger Map” for presentations on hunger and poverty around the world.Facts and Figures on HealthPoor nutrition and calorie deficiencies cause nearly one in three people to die prematurely or have disabilities, according to the World Health Organization. 5 Pregnant women, new mothers who breastfeed infants, and children are among the most at risk of undernourishment. 5 In 2005, about 10.1 million children died before they reached their fifth birthday. Almost all of these deaths occured in developing countries, 3/4 of them in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the two regions that also suffer from the highest rates of hunger and malnutrition. 7 Most of these deaths are attributed, not to outright starvation, but to diseases that move in on vulnerable children whose bodies have been weakened by hunger. 6 Every year, more than 20 million low-birth weight babies are born in developing countries. These babies risk dying in infancy, while those who survive often suffer lifelong physical and cognitive disabilities. 13 The four most common childhood illnesses are diarrhea, acute respiratory illness, malaria and measles. Each of these illnesses is both preventable and treatable. Yet, again, poverty interferes in parents’ ability to access immunizations and medicines. Chronic undernourishment on top of insufficient treatment greatly increases a child’s risk of death. 6 In the developing world, 27 percent of children under 5 are moderately to severely underweight. 10 percent are severely underweight. 10 percent of children under 5 are moderately to severely wasted, or seriously below weight for one’s height, and an overwhelming 31 percent are moderately to severely stunted, or seriously below normal height for one’s age. 7 Facts and Figures on HIV/AIDSThe spreading HIV/AIDS epidemic has quickly become a major obstacle in the fight against hunger and poverty in developing countries. Because the majority of those falling sick with AIDS are young adults who normally harvest crops, food production has dropped dramatically in countries with high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates. 10 In half of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa, per capita economic growth is estimated to be falling by between 0.5 and 1.2 percent each year as a direct result of AIDS. 3 Infected adults also leave behind children and elderly relatives, who have little means to provide for themselves. In 2003, 12 million children were newly orphaned in southern Africa, a number expected to rise to 18 million in 2010. 3 Since the epidemic began, 25 million people have died from AIDS, which has caused more than 15 million children to lose at least one parent. For its analysis, UNICEF uses a term that illustrates the gravity of the situation; child-headed households, or minors orphaned by HIV/AIDS who are raising their siblings. 10, 81 % (ages 15-49) of the world is HIV prevalent (2005 data). 41.1 % (ages 15-49) of developing countries are HIV prevalent (2005 data). 4Approximately 39.5 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the world. Of this figure, 63 percent live in Sub-Saharan Africa. 3In 2006, 4.3 million people become infected with HIV and 2.9 million people died of AIDS. 3

A: If 10% of the average $907 that Americans spent on Christmas gifts went to children in need, 42 million children could be helped for an entire year according to statistics provided to me during an interview with World Vision. This year, I conducted an experiment, and asked for donations to World Vision and Heifer.org instead of Christmas gifts. Many folks simply chose to give me gifts anyway, but many did make donations instead, resulting in $137 going to these charities. I also have a website where I sell art to support these two Christian organizations. The next time you need art for your walls, please consider my website. My personal favorite of my own work is Sunset over Florence12. Recently my aunt (an amateur photographer) and a friend have donated some of their work for this charitable cause, as well. If you know artists who might wish to join this charity model, please send them my way. There is a set of 6 world maps on my art for charity website that represents the state of our world in terms of poverty, hunger, disease, education availability of electricity and longevity. You can get a full sized copy for your office or child from my website. http://finerworks.com/gallery.asp?U_ID=RLTabor Love, Rick

world hunger someone give me your opinion?

Q: Poverty and World HungerEveryday we overlook how grateful we are. When we don’t like what our mom has cooked for dinner, we should keep in mind that there are children dying from starvation. When we say that we don’t have a big enough house, we don’t have nice clothes, we hate school, and life couldn’t be any worse, remember that there are people homeless, who have one set of clothes, no education , and are dying from hunger.Over 500 million people are living in poverty. The definition of poverty is the state of one who lacks usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. Hunger is the most extreme form of poverty. Today 852 million people across the world today are hungry. Each day about 16,000 children die from starvation. Every year 15 million people die from hunger.Every five seconds a child dies from hunger, a mother loses her child, and someone loses a friend. We can’t overlook this issue any longer. We are talking about innocent human beings dying because of not having enough food. What they don’t have we take for granted. People say that there isn’t enough food for everyone. That is a lie. There is enough food available to provide 4.3 pounds of food per person world wide.In the United States we have the largest obesity rate. We consume too much food while others eat nothing. We waste money on liabilities. There are over 6 billion people in the world today who live on less than a dollar a day. Many organizations and foundations have been formed to help with world hunger and poverty. I am a member of Compassion International. I sponsor a six year old boy named Jackson. For only forty dollars a month Jackson receives health care, an education, clothes, and food. If you were to ask people to donate forty dollars to help stand up against world hunger today most of them would say that it’s too much money and they can’t afford it. What amazes me is that people can say that and go buy a pair of shoes that are a hundred dollars. There are so many lost and hopeless face in our word. We need to take a stand, and act out as one. We need to come together as a Nation, and support each other. One can make a difference, and give hope to so many.this was an assignmaent for my 9th grade english class on writing persuasive papers

Who wants the solution to world hunger?

Q: Feel free to check my math.I can feed/sponsor a child in a third-world country for $23 per month.Every day 25000 children die from poverty/hunger(http://www.wfp.org/aboutwfp/facts/hunger_facts.asp)It would cost $575000 per month to feed those children.Warren Buffet gave Bill Gates $30,000,000,000That same $30,000,000,000 would feed every child who would have starved to death for the next 52,173 months or 4347 years.So where’s the problem?

A: Feeding people would be a temporary solution to a long term problem. People need to be more educated so we they can look for ways to fend for themselves.
