Introduction:

The world produces enough food to feed everyone, but still 925 million remain 
chronically hungry.&nbsp;It is worth remembering that hunger and malnutrition&nbsp;remain the 
biggest risk to health around the world, more than AIDS, tuberculosis&nbsp;and malaria 
combined.&nbsp; 
 
To eradicate global hunger and poverty was the first Millennium Development Goal 
that world leaders committed themselves to when they gathered for the millennium 
summit at the UN headquarters in New York in 2000.&nbsp;Their pledge was to halve the 
proportion of hungry people in the developing world by 2015. Unfortunately, apart 
from progress made in Latin America and Caribbean the number of chronically 
hungry people has actually risen by 60 million people since 1992.&nbsp;The facts are cruel 
today. The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well- 
fed, one-third is under-fed and one-third is starving. During this presentation 200 
people will die of starvation. Over 4 million will die this year. 
 
Every year more than 100 million children die from illness and starvation. Those 100 
million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the 
world spends on its military in two days! 
&nbsp; 
Many people in Africa suffer from malnutrition. Most likely many people, whom you 
are going to work with in Africa, have suffered from malnutrition as children. It is 
important to know what consequences malnutrition leaves on people.
