World Hunger

Given the statistics of extreme poverty and hunger, it is hard to feel good about the situation of the world today. There are 1.2 billion people living on less than $1/day. 815 million of those people are chronically hungry. In essence, hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food. Every 6 seconds—EVERY 6 SECONDS—our human family loses a little child under the age of 5 to hunger. And every night we go to sleep, warm and safe–20,000 people go to bed hungry and sick, never to wake again.

Many people have resigned to these overwhelming statistics and have accepted poverty as a part of our existence. FeelGood believes however, and experts agree, that extreme poverty and hunger can be ended in our lifetime. It has been proven that we have adequate resources, money, solutions, and ability to completely rid this world of hunger; all we have to do is choose to end it by diligently investing in empowerment, gender-focused models of development. FeelGood is inspiring our generation to own the responsibility to end hunger; we are helping people powerfully engage in the end of hunger in a way that feels good.

Is there a more important cause? Not in our minds and hearts.
