HUNGER EATS CHILDHOOD
HUNGER EATS CHILDHOOD
When a child can't eat
hunger starts eating their world.
It drains their energy
and silences play.
It consumes their curiosity
and crushes learning.
It grinds down joy
and turns their dreams to dust.
But together we can help children bite back.
All they need is support to defeat hunger. Our experience and their resilience.
