Hunger Response

Hunger Response

$150


Description

Around the globe, hunger – driven largely by conflict, economic and climate shocks – is continuing to rise. More than 700 million people around the world know the personal, daily ache of chronic hunger. Help provide healthy, nourishing food with this gift.

How your gift helps

Around the world, conflict and climate shocks mean that millions are facing acute food insecurity. Our partners’ long-term work is restoring health and livelihoods in communities that have been hit hard by hunger. By purchasing this gift you’ll make a valuable contribution to this work.

Chegem is part of a savings group in her village in Uganda, where the global hunger crisis has created enormous challenges. Before joining the group, which is facilitated by Tearfund’s partner Vision Terudo, Chegem farmed just one acre of land. The food she grew was barely sufficient, and her children became malnourished. Vision Terudo helped them with supplementary feeding during that time of extreme food shortages, and now they’re healthy.

Agricultural training, better quality seeds and a small loan to hire more farmland all mean that Chegem is now growing healthy crops to nourish her family.
