Our Mission: Saving Millions of Young Lives
Global hunger is a daunting subject, but deadly hunger—or acute malnutrition—is something we can actually address: deadly malnutrition causes 3.5 million childhood deaths each year.
This is all the more tragic because it’s treatable. In fact, deadly malnutrition is:
- PREDICTABLE: We know where and when acute malnutrition is likely to strike.
- PREVENTABLE: We know how to keep children from becoming malnourished.
- TREATABLE: New tools like therapeutic ready-to-use foods can save millions of young lives.
- INEXPENSIVE: It costs just $50 to save a life by providing a malnourished child with treatment.
Highly Rated: You Can Trust Action Against Hunger:
- A four-star charity rated by Charity Navigator (six years in a row)
- Selected as a 2011 “Top Nonprofit” by Philanthropedia.
- An “A”-rated organization by CharityWatch.
- Meets all 20 of the Better Business Bureau’s rigorous accountability standards.
- 85 cents of every donated dollar supports lifesaving programs.
