Feed Hungry Children Program: A Future Beyond Hunger
The Crisis We Can’t Ignore
In India, every third child suffers from chronic undernourishment, and one in five is acutely malnourished. These alarming statistics highlight a grim reality where millions of children are deprived of the essential food, nutrients, and healthcare needed to thrive.
According to findings from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), as reported by the National Library of Medicine:
Underweight: 39-75% of children are underweight across various regions.
Stunting: A significant 15.4-74% of children suffer from stunting, which impacts their physical and cognitive development.
Wasting: 10.6-42.3% of children are wasted, meaning they have low weight for their height, an indicator of acute malnutrition.

These figures are not just statistics; they represent children who cannot grow, learn, or fully realize their potential. Malnutrition is more than an empty stomach—it’s a barrier to learning, growth, and future success. It robs children of their potential—their ability to dream, be healthy, and succeed.
