Walking for Food

• Over 852 million people around the world are hungry – one-seventh of the human family.
• Most of these people are not victims of famine, but suffer from chronic hunger and malnutrition that stunts growth, sapping energy and potential.
• Every day, more than 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes – about one child every five seconds.
• 1.2 billion people in developing countries live on an income of $1 a day or less.

What is poverty? To come home and see your children go hungry and not have anything to give them. Brazil

Walking for Water

• 1 of every 6 people in the world lack access to safe drinking water.
• 1 of every 3 people lack access to improved sanitation.
• In sub-Saharan Africa, just 57% of the people enjoy access to safe water.
• In the 1990s, the number of children killed by diarrhea – the result of unsafe water and sanitation – exceeded the number of people killed in armed conflicts since World War II.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little. President Franklin D. Roosevelt
