"Children who suffer from malnutrition can experience its effects for life. Long-term consequences include an increase in non-communicable diseases, low school performance, and decreased work capacity."

Feeding Projects
There are still children going hungry across Africa. In Bisesero, Rwanda, many families cannot afford to pay for school meals for their children. Sometimes they need to choose which child can eat for the month. Nursery children are showing signs of malnutrition, stunting their development. All of this impedes their health, opportunities, education and happiness.
In DRC, poverty and violence is causing a crisis of child soldiers and street children. In South Sudan and Burundi, some of the world’s poorest countries, many families are left without food for days on end.
Comfort International Feeding Projects are fighting hunger across these countries. As little as £2 a month can pay a child’s school meals for a month.
