Every day, about 925 million people experience hunger. That's more than the population of North and South America combined!

The poor have to spend up to 75 percent of their income on food. And food prices just keep going up.

World Vision is leading the effort to end hunger.

In the next 12 seconds, another hungry child will die.

World Vision is on the front lines of the fight against hunger. In the Horn of Africa, hunger is stalking 12.4 million people, with 35 percent of all children in the region now facing emergency levels of malnutrition. We're responding by distributing therapeutic food for children, clean water, sturdy tents, and essential medical care.

Please join us in prayer at this critical time.

Pray for protection for the most vulnerable as they flee violence and drought in search of food. Pray for encouragement and relief for parents unable to feed their children. Pray that people around the world would respond to the call to help end the famine now.

World Vision fights hunger around the globe with short-term emergency food aid and long-term agricultural solutions to help people feed their own communities. We also advocate for the hungry, speaking on their behalf.
