2.4 million rural households face hunger. Three-quarters of the districts with the highest rates of food insecurity are in rural areas 86% of the districts with the highest rates of child food insecurity are rural.
People who live in rural areas often face hunger at higher rates, in part because of the unique challenges living remotely presents.
These challenges include job opportunities that are more concentrated in low-wage industries and higher rates of unemployment and underemployment. This can make hunger in rural areas a unique challenge.
Food Rights Alliance is committed to reaching everyone who faces hunger and malnutrition through our programs components (Advocacy, Capacity Building and Knowledge Management). We aim to increase investments triggered through various initiatives, developing rural infrastructure, agricultural research and extension services in order to enhance agricultural productive capacity in Uganda. To maximize the amount of impact through our programs, we need your help.
Nearly one out of three of us lives with food insecurity and malnutrition. But we see a future in which no one does.
For every dollar amount you donate, Food Rights Alliance advocates for initiative setups, local and global partnerships for mobilising attention and action on the immediate causes of child hunger and undernutrition.
