Join the voices of children across Asia Pacific to end child malnutrition and hunger
Say #ENOUGH
Ending Child Hunger and Malnutrition in Asia and the Pacific
Asia and the Pacific are home to 60% of the world's 1.8 billion young people. This youth population faces significant challenges, including rising rates of hunger, stunting, and wasting. Despite this, there's a critical data gap in understanding the true scale of malnutrition in the region.
World Vision has directly engaged with children in Asia and the Pacific, who share firsthand experiences of hunger and its devastating effects. They've seen peers, especially girls, drop out of school and become more vulnerable to violence due to lack of food. They recognise the value of government-led school feeding programs and kitchen gardens as sources of nutrition and learning.
Food insecurity in the region is a complex issue, tied to social, political, and economic factors like migration and climate change. As a child-focused organisation, World Vision is committed to ensuring every child has the right to be well-nourished and healthy. We are determined to end hunger and malnutrition by working alongside children, families, governments, businesses, donors, and partners.
In a world of plenty… demand that every child has ENOUGH nutritious food to thrive
“Hunger is a bad thing and can cause malnutrition. Children experience hunger because of the economic crisis and lack of financial support for families. As a child, I can share some of my pocket money and together with my friends donate food to those in need. Hunger is a problem that we should be aware of."
- Kujitha, age 15, Sri Lanka
