Global Hunger Crisis

Help end the global hunger crisis.

The effects of regional conflicts, sharply rising costs, extreme weather events, and the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are threatening an unprecedented number of people around the globe with hunger and starvation. The World Food Programme estimates that the 276 million people currently facing acute food insecurity could rise to between 309 million and 323 million under different scenarios due to the conflict in Ukraine.

David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Programme, has said, “We have no choice but to take food from the hungry to feed the starving.”

World Vision's strategic response

World Vision has launched its largest humanitarian undertaking ever, a global emergency response to make a life-saving impact for 22 million children and families. Surpassing the size and scope of our Global COVID-19 pandemic response, World Vision’s 18-month global hunger response will focus on 26 countries where hunger is at its worst.

Motivated by our faith in Jesus and empowered by our worldwide partnerships and presence in nearly 100 countries, World Vision is uniquely able to respond to humanitarian emergencies anywhere in the world—including the global hunger crisis.

Our work is effective

Over the last 10 years, 89% of the severely malnourished children World Vision treated made a full recovery.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.
—Psalm 46:1-2 (NIV)

Your gift is a sacred trust. We promise to honor your generosity by using your donation in the most effective way possible. Giving options represent World Vision projects and suggested donation amounts are based on surveys in the countries where we serve. Your donation will be used to provide assistance where it’s needed most within the gift category. For example, when you give an animal gift, a portion of the gift may also help provide water sources, farming assistance, hunger relief, and other related essentials.

*The multiplying effect from grants and donated goods may change throughout the year on identical or similar offers due to variations in the start and end dates of donor grants and our programs.
