"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.
