Sevenly // Unite For Africa

Later today, you and I will get hungry and take 5 steps to your refrigerator to satisfy the ache in our tummies. In fact, I will probably do that even when I am not really hungry! That small satisfaction is something that 42,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo will never experience because they are literally starving to death. Acute malnutrition is a preventable and treatable condition that causes the body to consume its own tissues to survive, targeting muscle and body fat first...

The solution? This week your support for Action Against Hunger through Sevenly will provide 21 meals per purchase for a child suffering from deadly malnutrition. These meals are specifically designed to heal an extremely malnourished child by satisfying their hunger and treating their condition. For many children, this means the difference between life and death. 

Partner with Sevenly and Action Against Hunger to help save the lives of severely malnourished children and help vulnerable communities become self-sufficient. Join them in restoring health, dignity and independence worldwide.

Blessings!

Save the Children: Race Against Hunger

-----------------------------

Today’s post is about an initiative by Save the Children called Race for Hunger.

{taken from the official site}

Every year, 2.3 million children die because they don’t get enough of the right food. 



David Cameron has announced that he will lead the way in the Race Against Hunger. We want him to use his G8 presidency in 2013 to set ambitious plans to tackle hunger and save millions of children's lives.



The world has shown in recent years that it can take dramatic action - millions of children have been saved from preventable diseases. But despite major progress, hunger is still the root cause of a third of all child deaths. 



Right now, rises in global food prices are deepening the crisis. Families in the poorest countries are finding it harder and harder to afford the nutritious food their children need.



Sign the petition and send a message now asking the Prime Minister to tackle hunger and save millions of lives- it will only take a minute!

Together we can give every child a life free from hunger.

Blessings!
