Extreme Hunger and Famine

Famine and extreme hunger are a reality today for many of our siblings. An official declaration of famine means that at least 20% of households face an extreme lack of food, and large numbers of people are dying every day due to hunger. In many other places where famine hasn’t been declared, many families and communities still suffer from extreme hunger. 

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), through the Presbyterian Hunger Program, supports partners around the world who are working in their communities to identify why people are hungry and to implement long-term solutions. One way we do this is to support the work of a partner in countries where famine has been declared.
