Child Poverty

While we are committed to helping children around the world break free from childhood poverty, funds raised through the 2009 Eat So They Can event will specifically focus on the plight of children in Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Peru.

Global Poverty

piggies Chronic poverty is cyclical: children who suffer from childhood poverty statistically will continue the cycle into adulthood. By addressing the immediate needs of food, clothing and shelter as well as addressing long term sustainability goals with schooling opportunities and skills training for some of the world's most poverty stricken youth, it is the hope of the GVN Foundation that we can begin to break the cycle of childhood poverty.

Every day, 25,000 people die because of hunger; 18,000 of them are children.
The World has produced more then enough food to feed itself since the 1960's, yet around the world, over 850 million people are chronically hungry.
