A world of food choices is available at our fingertips, ready to arrive at our doorstep within minutes.
But don’t we hate it when our order is delayed?

For over 256 million children around the world,
food does not make it to the table for days.

They dream of one day being able to eat to their heart’s content.
UNICEF, 2021

Nearly
1/2
of all deaths in children under 5
are due to nutrition-related factors.
UNICEF, 2021

 

45

million children
across the globe are affected by severe malnutrition
each year.
UN WFP, 2021

 

250
children
are estimated to die per day from pandemic-related malnutrition between 2020 and 2022 due to soaring food prices and devastated livelihoods.

14-year-old Juvy lives with her little brother in a shanty home within an informal settlement community.  With the help of her aging grandmother, she has been shouldering the responsibilities of supporting the family. On the brink of starvation, she took to the streets to make a living. She spends one day a week selling brooms and others, begging for alms.

“I need to find ways to earn money, my grandma is old and can’t earn like before.”

The streets are a treacherous place for young girls like Juvy where plenty of dangers lurk – the ongoing pandemic, busy streets to cross, and worst of all, the risk of sexual assault.

For Juvy, a meal is safety and freedom from child labour.

5-year-old Binsa lives in a one-room home with her mother. Tuberculosis took her father away, pushing them deeper into poverty. Hunger is a familiar visitor in their home. To put food on the table, her mother works as a sex worker. She does not want Binsa to succumb to malnutrition and become a sickly child.

“I could do with one meal a day, but my child has to eat.”

Since the pandemic hit, she has been struggling to earn. Already debt-ridden from the slow business, she has to pay monthly rentals and give half of her earnings to the owner of the brothel.

For Binsa, a meal is a chance to live beyond the age of five.

It means they
no longer have to be on the streets or exploited, making a living to earn a nutritious meal.
no longer have to be in school with an empty, growling stomach.
will live to celebrate more birthdays in good health.
