Support Our Campaign Against Poverty, Hunger and Homeless
Through our research, we understand that the primary cause of poverty in human life is due to lack education, followed by lack of opportunities from birth, we understand that even a little education can make deference in someone life, Poverty is the principal cause of hunger. The causes of poverty, include poor people’s lack of resources and unequal income distribution in the world and within specific countries, corruption, bad politics, conflict, and hunger itself. In 2010, an estimated 7.6 million children more than 20,000 a day died of hunger, some countries that have achieved the greatest success in reducing the total number of hungry people in proportion to their national population are Armenia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Cuba, Georgia, Ghana, Kuwait, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Thailand and Venezuela
Nearly 98% of worldwide hunger exists in underdeveloped countries.
Almost 1 in every 15 children in developing countries dies before the age of 5, most of them from hunger-related causes.
While hunger exists worldwide, 526 million hungry people live in Asia.
Over a quarter of the world’s undernourished people live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Almost 1 in 4 people in this region is chronically hungry. When a mother is undernourished during pregnancy, the baby is often born undernourished, too. Every year, 17 million children are born this way due to a mother’s lack of nutrition before and during pregnancy.
Similarly, women in hunger are so deficient of basic nutrients (like iron) that 315,000 die during childbirth from hemorrhaging every year.
Ekens foundation is soliciting for donation to tackle these problems, make a donation to assist us for these projects, also kindly bring to our attention of any orphanage camp that may need our help.
