“The fact that every year, tens of millions of men, women and children die of hunger, is the biggest outrage of our century. Every five seconds, a child under the age of ten starves to death, and this on a planet overflowing with wealth.” Jean Ziegler (former UN special Rapporteur on the Right to Food).

Hunger leads to debilitating disease, which first and foremost takes away one’s will to seek help. In order to prevent that from happening, we provide aid for starving children in two feeding centers – in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the village of Ntamungenga as well as in Kaédi, Mauritania.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, every week, we help about 100 children suffering from diagnosed malnutrition or hunger disease. Last year,  we saved 647 children from starvation. Our center is the best running facility in the entire province of Northern Kivu.

The center in Kaédi is a bit smaller, with just two employees, who take care of nearly one hundred children a week. Last year, we were able to save 387 children from hunger disease.

The number of kids suffering from acute malnutrition who come to our center keeps increasing. This is due to the very difficult situation in both regions. Congo continues to be on the verge of an armed conflict, with local criminals and rebels taking advantage of the volatile situation. In Mauritania, climate change has led to water deficits and, consequently, insufficient food production.

In addition to feeding children, we also focus our efforts on long-term support. We teach parents how to cultivate plants in our hospital garden. They also learn about the basic principles of nutrition. We provide food supplies for those days, when they are not with us. Last year, we trained 1 000 guardians on the principles of nutrition and cultivating a home garden. We hope this will prevent further cases of malnutrition among children. We regularly visit our patients in their homes. The visits are unannounced and their aim is to check in with the guardians to make sure they have been following recommendations given by the nutrition center, such as creating small home gardens to enrich their families’ diets.  Our nurses weigh and examine the children, and let their parents and guardians know that they will be back with another unannounced visit.
