"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat." - Matthew 25:35 (NIV). Today, more than 50 million people are one step away from starvation. A deadly mix of conflict, climate change and the economic fallout of COVID-19 are driving ever worsening hunger for millions of children and their families.

Challenge

In some rural hunger hotspots, children are literally living under famine conditions. Girls & boys aren't just starving but are being starved to death. Just because hunger has persisted doesn't mean it has escaped God's notice: "He is the Maker of Heaven and Earth, the sea, and everything in them - He remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry - Psalm 146:6-7 (NIV).

Long-Term Impact

Loving Provider, Isaiah 58:10 tells us that if we give ourselves on behalf of the hungry, then our light will shine in the dark. Thank You for those who are shining lights, and please call forth others to make a difference. Be a fortress against danger for Cico Uganda's staff who work in Your name to feed the hungry. Continue to use relief workers to bring not only much-needed food but to also show Your love so people can be fed spiritually and physically.
