Hi John, 148 million children under 5 won’t have enough to eat today.
Clementine* does all she can to stave off malnutrition, collecting foliage to fill her grandkids’ empty stomachs. But cassava leaves can’t beat hunger – in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or any other food-insecure country.
“Sometimes, we sleep hungry,” Clementine says. “Only God knows how I’ll be able to provide for them.”
Families like hers are why the world needs the Farm Bill. One of its most critical programs is under threat – and we have to protect it.
We’ve talked about Food for Peace before, John. It’s the Farm Bill’s biggest international food aid program, providing emergency relief and helping communities feed themselves.
But lawmakers are pushing legislation that could damage this lifesaving assistance – even as families like Clementine’s are facing a global hunger crisis.
Support saved her grandson, Gabriel*, from severe malnutrition. Now, he’s starting to babble and play again, all because he got urgent care.
Every child deserves the same second chance, John. Please, tell Congress to protect Food for Peace.
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
