INTRODUCTION

Imagine you have a kid that starving and asking for food, but you cannot buy this food!

This is what poor kids face. There are so many organiza=ons trying to help those kids to reduce

the number of kids who die every year because of hunger. For example, the children’s hunger’s

project in Brevard County provide poor kids with enough food during weekends, so they can

study and interact in schools.

Children’s hunger use technology which makes them beEer than other chari=es that

require to get into the charity place and pay. Unfortunately, hungry kids are not something new;

Since 1984, No Kid Hungry were officially help hungry kids to live which means there are kids

faced hunger before 1984. In 2018, the level of poverty level was $25,750 for a family of 4

members (the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services); this is a very high number and

that’s why people should start thinking about those kids because they are the future of this

country.

Something might be weird, but some wealthiest families have insecurity of food and they

think it is not a big issue. However, studies show that children who suffer from hunger will do

poorly in their study (Lancaster University, 2019)

P R O D U C T / S E R V I C E / METHODOLOGY

In this research we were commiGed to obtain the data from reliable source. Such as American

Psychological Associa*on, World Hunger News and Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County. APer the

process of collec*ng data, the team reviewed, and filtered them as applicable.

In an aGempt to be accurate and credible; the team decided to eliminate any informa*on that

might risk the trustworthiness and truthfulness of the research. Addi*onally, the informa*on that we

took from our sources were peer reviewed and most resent.

We will provide the audience with what they should know about the issue, so people who does

not have *me they will get the idea real quick. Also, we provide interested poten*al donators who want

to read more. Donators will read sta*cs and how the problem can be solved not showing the problem

only. Furthermore, if they have any other solu*ons, they will be able to provide them to us.

KEY FINDINGS

Hunger & lack of Education

The issue of hunger is indirectly affected by lack of educa*on; These days, jobs

are now hard to get because of the requirements and the number of people applying for the

same job. Without higher educa*on, people cannot get a job with a high salary. Unemployed

people; cannot afford the price of their daily food, and it is even harder for those who have a

family with kids. According to Mercy Corps organiza*on, around nine million humans die every

year because of hunger and disease related to hunger ("Quick facts: What you need to know

about global hunger," 2020). So, if the individual is not able to buy food, she/he would suffer

from hunger or the disease that comes with it. Kids have a higher chance of dying more than

adults because of their limited endurance. Kids make up around three million out of nine

million dying because of hunger (UNICEF, 2018a).

Lack of nutritions

Children's hunger is noted by malnutri4on. Malnutri4on greatly inhibits cogni4ve

development and makes them unproduc4ve. Hunger is both a cause of poverty and may result

from poverty. Despite efforts to curb hunger, global childhood hunger is s4ll widespread.

According to the world health organiza4on, in 2016, an es4mated 5.6 million children below the

age of five died (Lam). Much of the malnutri4on problem occurs in Africa whose rate is 8 4mes

the rate of malnutri4on deaths in Europe.

Supporting charity organizations

Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County is a non-profit organiza4on that is Chris4an

based (Brevard). It offers low-income families with decent, affordable and safe homes. In

addressing children's hunger, the organiza4on helps low-income families with homes to prevent

children's deaths that arise from poverty and living in unhealthy environments (Humanity). The

assump4on is that if parents have a decent home they can be able to feed their children with

healthy meals and adequate amounts of food to prevent malnutri4on and under-nutri4on. The

organiza4on works with volunteers who supply them with cash and in-kind dona4ons that are

channeled to the organiza4on programs and beneficiary families. The organiza4on is commiSed

to figh4ng poverty which is the leading cause of childhood hunger.

CONCLUSION That’s what hungry kids ask for, and they die every year with a number of 3 millions. What if

your kid was one of them. How will you react? All what people’s needs to save the future of the U.S is to save those poor people because they are the only people who will help to raise their country. A minimum of $10 dona*on monthly to charity, will save a kid life thus a Country's future.
