2. WHAT IS HUNGER???
hunger is used to describe the social condition
of people who frequently experience, or live
with the threat of experiencing, the physical
sensation of desiring food. The sensation of
hunger has different manifestation which are
measured in different ways.
A few examples of this types of hunger are
under-nourishment, malnutrition and wasting

3. HOW IT AFFECTS THE PEOPLE?
• Today , almost one person in six does not get enough food to be
healthy and lead an active life, making hunger and malnutrition the
number one risk of health worldwide-greater than AIDS, malaria
and tuberculosis combined. As well as the obvious sort of hunger
resulting from an empty stomach, there is also the hidden hunger
of micronutrient deficiencies which make people susceptible to
infection diseases, impair physical and mental development, reduce
their labour productivity and increase the risk of premature death.
-Hunger does not only weigh on the individual. It also imposes a
crushing economic burden on the developing world. Economist
estimate that every child whose physical and mental development
is stunted by hunger and malnutrition stands to loose 5-10 percent
is lifetime earnings.

4. ORGANISATIONS AGAINST HUNGER.
• Organisations like ACTIONAGAINSTHUNGER, which is not funded by the
government helps this people in those countries that are suffering from hunger
issues like malnutrition
under-nourishment and wasting.
As they are not funded by the government
they have to find ways to raise money to provide food for those in need.
-Founded 30 years ago, ACF International | Action Against Hunger is an
international humanitarian organisation committed to ending child hunger.

5. OBSTACLES THAT ORGANISATIONS
FACED.
• Nonprofit and voluntary organizations are an important element of rural communities, often
• addressing the needs and interests of citizens that the public and private sectors do not. The
• capacity of these organizations to achieve their missions thus has a direct bearing on the quality
• of life of rural residents. To improve understanding of the capacity challenges of rural nonprofit
• and voluntary organizations, the Foundation for Rural Living engaged Imagine Canada to
• conduct in-depth interviews with fifteen key informants. Ten of the interviewees were leaders of
• rural nonprofit organizations and five were leaders of key sector organizations in urban centres
• that serve or work with rural nonprofit organizations. This report presents the results of these
• interviews, which were conducted between February and April 2005.
• The results of the interviews suggest that nonprofit and voluntary organizations in rural Ontario
• face a variety of challenges as they seek to fulfill their missions and achieve their objectives.
• Many of these challenges are similar to those faced by urban organizations, for example:
• organizations are too dependent on short-term project funding, leading to instability and an
• inability to plan; their funding has not kept pace with inflation or the demand for their services,
• leading them to cut services and/or spend a great deal of time pursuing alternative sources of
• funding; they have difficulty accessing corporate funding; grant applications are overly complex
• and time consuming to complete; they have difficulty recruiting and retaining staff because they
• are unable pay competitive salaries; and they have trouble recruiting and retaining volunteers.
• Other problems facing rural nonprofit and voluntary organizations are unique. The most
• significant unique challenges appear to be: a small and shrinking pool of potential board
• members, staff members, volunteers, and donors due to migration from rural to urban areas; the
• high cost of serving clients who are spread out over great distances; and lower economies of
• scale. These challenges mean that rural organizations have both higher operating costs than
• urban organizations and fewer human and financial resources to draw on.

6. WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP.
• We as students and citizens of a normal
country we should do our best to donate to
these organisations that are not funded by the
government to relieve their burdens.
• we can donate money and food items to
them
we can start a social entrepreneur venture
with other organisations and donate the
money to non-funded organisations.
