Children are better fed, nourished and resilient

A world where every child enjoys ENOUGH nourishing food and thrives


Asia Pacific is home to an estimated 155.2 million people living in extreme poverty. Challenges faced by poor families in meeting their basic needs and securing their livelihoods are exacerbated by the impacts of climate change, natural disasters, conflict, and rising cost of living. Stunting still affects 21 million children. More than 69 million people were considered acutely food insecure in 2022, an increase of 7 million people from 2021. 

A life of plenty for every child has always been possible, but that’s not reality. We must take action immediately.

World Vision is working to address food security issues sustainably and holistically in East Asia through our integrated nutrition, livelihoods, climate change adaptation and resilience-building programmes, as well as close engagement with policymakers to strengthen policies and systems that affect food security.

 

SDGs supported: 

World Vision supports SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 6, SDG 8, SDG 10, SDG 14, SDG 15, SDG 17 through food security programmes.

Our concentrated effort


Over the next three years, World Vision will unite with like-minded partners and supporters to intensify its efforts in an unprecedented global campaign to mobilise citizens and powerholders to create a world where there is enough to end hunger and malnutrition.
