"...It is through the eyes of a hungry child that we can best understand the incredibly debilitating nature of hunger and its erosion on a child's body, mind, and future..."

"18,000 young children will die today,
largely because their families could not feed them."

~James T. Morris

Over 200 million children in developing countries under the age of five are malnourished. They suffer from serious loss of their precious health because without proper nutrients, their immune systems become weak, leaving them susceptible to more diseases more often. If they do survive, many grow up with permanent physical or mental disabilities.

Our hearts go out to those suffering little children. That is why, every day, Children's Hunger Relief Fund provides nutritious meals to thousands of desperate and needy children who are homeless, orphaned, or physically handicapped. Whether in war ravaged Sudan, remote villages in Afghanistan, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, South Africa, Mexico, or a small island in the middle of vast Lake Nicaragua, CHRF helps to make sure these children do not go hungry.

As a grateful child experiences--perhaps for the first time--a hot meal, love, and attention from our volunteers, and the joyful companionship of other well-fed and nurtured children, we are there representing you.

In 2003, with your continuous support and
compassion, CHRF served almost 3,000,000 meals
to hungry children all over the world.
