In an urgent call for action, a study by the African Child Policy Forum said that nearly 60 million children in Africa do not have enough food despite the continent’s economic growth in recent years.

A child dies every three seconds globally due to food deprivation – 10,000 children every day – but although figures show an improvement in child hunger at a global level, it is getting worse in some parts of Africa, where the problem is largely a question of political will.

Being from a vast, varied, and majestic continent, the children of Africa live in a diverse range of places, from cosmopolitan cities to small villages. As economies in the region continue to push ahead and create better standards of living for the people, it’s up to tomorrow’s leaders to secure a prosperous, peaceful future.

More then two million children at risk of starvation in Africa, Let's not lose the sense of urgency to act.

Across the world, many children simply can't attend school due to ill health, hunger, poverty and marginalization.

Schools have a critical role to play in creating an equal and inclusive future, not just in what they teach but also how they enhance the health of the children in their care.
