Lesea Global Feed the Hungry

In fiscal year 2023, Feed the Hungry added 71,771 children to the every child every day nutrition and food security program, representing a 37.5% increase over the 2022 program achievements. By the conclusion of the year a total of 503,210 children from 26 countries benefited from regular, cooked and dry ration meals. Reports from implementing program partners indicated that the meals decreased the visible effects of malnutrition, increased school enrollments, decreased absenteeism and heightened academic performance on standardized testing. Beyond the every child every day program, Feed the Hungry continued to fulfill its mission of emergency relief through (a) engaging in food security efforts amongst displaced and refugee populations of south sudan, sudan, ukraine, burkina faso and afghanistan; (b) developing food security and community agriculture projects in the drought-stricken karamoja region of uganda; (c) collaborating with an implementing partner in northern uganda to assist a marginalized community in creating jobs, education opportunities, civil infrastructure and social services; and (d) distributing 25,764,373 pounds of food and resources to community food pantries, inner city missions, homeless shelters and community outreaches across the united states.
