The Wait
It doesn’t take us long to get angry when we don’t get our food, so when are we going to get angry for the 733 million people in the world that don’t have enough to eat?
A child dies from hunger every 15 seconds and at Action Against Hunger, we’re furious about that. And we’re asking you to get angry with us.
Every day we are predicting, preventing, and treating hunger and malnutrition around the world. We’ve been global leaders at providing life-saving food, tools, skills and know-how for 45 years.
Help us build a world where not a single person dies from hunger.

For farmers in Zambia, connecting to local markets can save livelihoods and lives. 66-year-old Sitwala was facing hard times --- and a deadly drought --- when he decided to participate in Action Against Hunger’s new climate-resilient initiative.
“We were introduced to black-eyed pea seeds, which are drought resistant and can withstand dry periods. We were trained in the best way to plant and grow them,” said Sitwala. “The cowpeas are growing really well. Yet the biggest challenge we will face going forward is selling them.”
