Swipe Out Hunger 2012

Did You Know?

From Numana's "Our Mission" page, used by permission:

Hunger By the Numbers

Almost 1 in 6 people in the world suffer from lack of proper food

25,000 people die each day from hunger – more than tuberculosis, malaria and AIDS combined.  Imagine 71, 747 passenger jets crashing every single day.

6 million children a year die from hunger

1 every 6 seconds
10 every minute
600 every hour

Here’s what keeps us up at night:

Enough food is produced in the world for every person to have 4.3 lbs of food every day.  But the reality is, hunger and starvation continues to torment children, adults and families.  Numana can help you make a difference.

Our mission is to empower people to save the starving by raising awareness, providing actionable solutions and encouraging advocacy.

Through volunteer-driven, hands on meal packaging events, Numana enables others to send meals to countries where intense food insecurity exists.
