The Food Security Appeal is a call to action to fight hunger and ensure vulnerable families have access to safe, nutritious food. Around the world, millions of people go to bed hungry every night. Poverty, conflict, climate change, and natural disasters have left countless families without enough food to survive. Children suffer from malnutrition, parents sacrifice meals for their children, and entire communities are weakened by the lack of proper nourishment.
Through the Food Security Appeal, Al Qulub Trust is working to provide life-saving food aid and restore dignity to those struggling to survive.
The Global Hunger Crisis
Hunger is one of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today. According to the United Nations, over 800 million people worldwide suffer from chronic hunger. The situation is most severe in conflict zones, disaster-hit areas, and impoverished regions where families are trapped in cycles of poverty.
-
Children are the most affected – Malnutrition stunts growth, weakens immunity, and puts millions of young lives at risk.
-
Conflict worsens hunger – Wars and displacement cut families off from farms, markets, and livelihoods.
-
Climate change increases risk – Droughts, floods, and poor harvests push more families into food insecurity.
Hunger is not just the absence of food—it is the absence of opportunity, health, and hope.
