Feeding the hungry!
The fact that the world produces more than enough food to feed the entire world (4 billion metric tons), and one-third of it gets wasted, leaving hundreds of millions of people hungry, is a tragedy.
High-income countries leave food on the plate, and low-and middle-income countries leave food in the field or lose it in production. This results in millions of malnourished children dying each year from a preventable cause.
Hunger and malnutrition create a self-sustaining barrier that keeps people stuck in poverty. Hunger makes it more difficult for a person to learn, work, pursue opportunities and contribute to society. It drains a person’s energy, destroys mental acuity, and exacts a heavy price on health throughout his or her life.
Beginning with under-nutrition in fetal and early life and extending to long-term health problems such as stunted physical growth, coronary heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, malnutrition exacts an enormous cost in quality and length of life.
Keeping this in mind, Prime Trust created an awareness in the community to send excess food they have during their family celebrations. We frequently receive food and it is distributed to the local community.
On Monday, the 7th of February, food was distributed to poor, unemployed women. More than 100 got food pockets.
