More than 850 million people in the world are hungry, too. About six million children die from a hunger-related cause every year. Even in the U.S. where we seem to be chubby, more than 12 million children live in households without enough food. Bread for the World has all types of food facts along with suggestions to take action. They are seeking justice and ending hunger, ambitious goals.
