Working On Stopping World Hunger

- “Nearly 1,000,000 employees, franchisees and their families from Yum!, KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s and A&W All-American Food volunteered millions of hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. Our global fundraising during World Hunger Relief Week also raised US$16,000,000 for the World Food Programme and other hunger relief organizations. (1)” If many more people and companies chipped in to help the fight against world hunger, the money raised would increase exponentially.
- Because of one company’s efforts during World Hunger Relief Week 2007, many people were saved. “By leveraging the company’s global scale, 1.6 million people were saved from starvation.” (1)
- Giving to charities seems hopeless since it doesn’t seem like that much money, but every little bit adds up and becomes a big amount. “Total giving to charitable organizations increased to $306 Billion dollars in 2007.” (2)


Letting World Hunger Continue

- World Hunger Relief Week addresses the harsh reality that there are 850 million people suffering from hunger every day. More people die from hunger each year than from war, tuberculosis and AIDS combined. In fact, every five seconds, a child somewhere dies from hunger. (1)
- 9 million deaths per year, of whom 6 million are children under the age of five who die prematurely, as a direct or indirect result of hunger. (3)
