Our Impact
In May 2022, World Vision launched a Global Hunger Response to meet the immediate food needs of the worlds’ most vulnerable as nearly 50 million people face starvation and are in need of urgent life-saving assistance. This response targets girls and boys living in some of the most difficult, dangerous and desperate parts of the globe.
See how our efforts are making a difference in the lives of hungry and vulnerable children and their families.
Our Response
World Vision is responding to hunger in every country we work in. But over the last year, we identified 26 countries in need of urgent, life-saving support, due to high numbers of people currently living in or on the verge of famine-like conditions.
We're aiming to reach the most vulnerable children and their families being impacted by hunger with food, livelihoods, and protection. We focus our impact on areas with pre-existing vulnerability and fragility, where children are most at risk: places affected by conflict, urban slums, and refugee settlements.
