    [Engaged] An "A" Rated Charity Combatting World Hunger

    I believe in donating to charities with high ratings for efficiency and proper use of funds.
    Action Against Hunger is a charity combating world hunger. Please consider to learn and get involved.

    More than two million children die from hunger each year. Action Against Hunger works in more than 50 countries to save lives and help children grow strong. We lead the global movement to end hunger. We innovate solutions, advocate for change, and reach 24 million people every year with proven hunger prevention and treatment programs. As a nonprofit that works across 50 countries, our 8,300 dedicated staff members partner with communities to address the root causes of hunger, including conflict, inequity, and emergencies. We strive to create a world free from hunger, for everyone, for good.


    For almost 40 years, across nearly 50 countries, we have led the global fight against hunger. We save the lives of children and their families. We are there for them before and after disaster strikes. We enable people to provide for themselves, see their children grow up strong, and for whole communities to prosper. We constantly search for more effective solutions, while sharing our knowledge and expertise with the world. We push for long-term change. We will never give up. Until the world is free from hunger.

    ...

    Nearly half of all child deaths worldwide are from causes related to undernutrition, even though it’s:

    PREDICTABLE: We know where and when to expect acute undernutrition
    PREVENTABLE: We know how to help children stay healthy
    TREATABLE: Community-based outpatient programs and therapeutic ready-to-use foods can help save millions, and just $45 can provide a child with lifesaving treatment
    We know how to save undernourished children if we can reach them. Help extend our reach.

    WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
    We dedicate as much of our funding as possible to our lifesaving humanitarian programs.
    In 2015, we spent $0.93 of every donated dollar on program activities.

    Please read more about why this is so urgent here ...

    I said that I would only speak around here if certain lines were crossed. I feel that this is such a line. Of course, my little voice adds nothing, but I wish to put this on the record. The Buddha allowed anyone to apply to join his Sangha, although he had rules and standards too without simply throwing open the door.

    Thank you Jundo ... In this world of abundance, NO ONE should go hungry especially children ever! It is heavy on the heart, but is good to know there are honest charities out there trying to make a difference.

      Just this. I doubt many charities could quote they "use" 93% of donated funds.
