The fight against child malnutrition and poverty is an ongoing battle. It remains clear that efforts around the globe to tackle the food crisis and seek a sustainable end to child malnutrition and poverty need to see an increase in political will. This is necessary to ensure that both funding and sustainable practices are put into place at all levels. In my recent post, Political Will a Must to End Child Malnutrition, I stated that, “the issues leading to child malnutrition are often created by a lack of political will, and yet political will is required to end this problem. Pressure for change must come not only from within countries suffering, but also from the international community. We should continue to evaluate cases of success to aid current, new, and emerging leaders if we are to see the end of child malnutrition in our lifetime.” Soon after the post I was sent the following video, which was just released by One.org, and illustrates why we need to seek an end to famine for good:

The powerful video seeks to show how the end of famine is within our grasp. One.org is pushing the video campaign across all social media avenues to engage the public to take action. In succession to the video’s distribution, One.org will be delivering an associated petition with tens of thousands of names to members of the United States Congress, calling on them to fully fund programs like Feed the Future and help break the cycle of famine for good.
