No Hunger

Did you know, that every 0-4 seconds, someone dies from hunger or hunger related diseases? (Like AIDS, Pneumonia, Diarrheal diseases like dysentery and cholera, Tuberculosis, Malaria and Measles) Children are the main victim of these diseases.

Fortunately, there is an SDG for no hunger. SDGs are the Sustainable Development Goals. these are goals, made by the UN. They want to finish all the goals by 2030. There are 17 SDGs. 1.Poverty, 2.No Hunger, 3.Good Health and Well-Being, 4.Quality Education, 5. Gender Equality, 6.Clean Water and Sanitation, 7.Affordable and Clean Energy, 8.Decent Work and Economic Growth, 9.Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, 10.Reduced Inequalities, 11.Sustainable Cities and Communities, 12.Responsible Consumption and Production, 13.Climate Action , 14.Life Below Water, 15.Life on Land, 16.Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions,and 17.Partnerships for the Goals.

The SDG that I chose to work on is No Hunger. I chose No Hunger because I always knew that people had no food and died and I wanted to learn more. I learned about the SDGs and I wanted to help out. So I did a lot of research, and I learned a lot. I planned to make more people aware about this so they could donate money to charities helping the cause and spread awareness. Now I try not to waste, or take too much food. The back of mind says, “think about the millions and billions of people who are starving and dying because of hunger and hunger related diseases.”

The fact that children die every 0-4 seconds has always amazed me, and make me feel like crying at the same time. The world has about 7 billion people, and produces enough for 10 billion people, but about 925 million people don’t have enough food to live a good life. About one in nine people don’t have enough food to live a healthy life. Many kids go to school hungry because they don’t have enough food to eat at home. About 62% of teachers say that they see children that are coming to school hungry. About 21,000 die each day because of hunger and hunger related causes.

What I am doing now, is spreading awareness from this blog, and doing more research. I also plan to make a book or video on this topic to help awareness.
