We live in a world where 7,000 hungry children die every day – but do you know how much extra food we need to grow to save them?

In fact: not one grain.

It’s a scandal. We’re stuck in a global hunger crisis, but we have plenty of food to ensure every desperately hungry child gets the nourishment they need.

World leaders need to find a fairer way of getting food to every child, wherever they live.

Save the Children have a plan to turn this around – but it depends on you.  Those who responded to previous posts helped STC achieve a huge breakthrough on vaccines last year, which will save millions of lives.

Now, we need to get David Cameron to name the day he’ll hold a world hunger summit later this year. Will you help Save the Children?

Name a day when you’ll take action for millions of hungry children – and together we can urge David Cameron to name his own.

The lives of a quarter of the world’s children are ruined by malnutrition, and unless we demand change, this terrible crisis will go ignored.

Show David Cameron how easy it is to name a day – and take one simple action. Stand up for children without the power to stand up for themselves and take action now here: http://savethechildren.org.uk/nameaday

When your day comes round, STC will ask you to take one of five simple actions to help hungry children. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves… For the moment, it would be fantastic if you would sign up now and join us.
