Hidden Hunger

Home » Hidden Hunger


Meet Precious,

a young orphaned girl in one of our feeding programs.

Precious used to be admitted to hospital every month for treatment because of her Sickle Cell disease. This disease is an abnormal blood cell disease that affects around 20% of Ugandan’s. People with Sickle Cell disease are prone to bleeding. They are more susceptible to infections, they experience delayed growth, and vision problems. The blood has great difficulty moving through the body, it can block the blood flow causing intense pain… These episodes can last hours or even weeks. You could go through life with just a few episodes or you can have a dozen every year.

The good news is that since joining our Every Child Every Day program and receiving our fortified rice meals which are filled with vitamins and minerals, Precious has been hospital free for 2 whole years!

Ps Herbert with Precious
Ps. Herbert from Victory Church, in Kampala, Uganda says: “I am a witness before God of the nutritional value of the fortified rice meals. Her look, her appearance, her life has changed totally!”

He goes on to say: “I would say to everybody out there, who is supporting FTH, you may not feel like you are feeding the hungry. But Your contribution is felt somewhere, I feel it, I can feel the help. The children who have been malnourished, that can’t afford to have a meal. They can feel your help, they can feel your contribution.”

You have helped make this possible.

 

Did you know?

According to a UN Report – ‘Hidden Hunger’ is a form of malnutrition often unnoticeable to the naked eye — a micronutrient deficiency — a shortage of essential vitamins or minerals which may be invisible, but the impact is far from it.

Hidden hunger makes people susceptible to infectious diseases, impairs their physical and mental development, reduces their labour productivity and increases the risk of premature death.

2 billion people around the world are affected.

Our rice meals are packed with essential vitamins and minerals to make sure that the children in our programs are receiving optimum nutrition through their daily meals.

Rice is a staple food for half the world’s population, so fortified rice has great potential to help fight hidden hunger on a large scale.

YOU CAN HELP!

You can help us reach more children and give them a new lease on life! Together, we can fight malnutrition on a global scale by adding more children to our Every Child Every Day program, with your help, we will be able to get more children healthy through our nutritious rice meals.
