h3.What do soaring food prices mean for children?

Reports of a ‘global food crisis’ have multiplied in recent weeks, with UN agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) joining NGOs and governments in voicing their concern at spiralling food costs.

World Bank head, Robert Zoellick, said the rapid rise in food prices could push 100 million people in poor countries deeper into poverty. Meanwhile, the IMF said hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of starvation. Children and other vulnerable groups are especially at risk from food insecurity. UNICEF expressed concern that the increasing food prices could force families to spend more on less food, and families might remove their children from school so that th Read More

h2.In the face of the current global food crisis, many families are currently not able to adequately feed their children.

h3.What do soaring food prices mean for children?

Reports of a ‘global food crisis’ have multiplied in recent weeks, with UN agencies, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) joining NGOs and governments in voicing their concern at spiralling food costs.

World Bank head, Robert Zoellick, said the rapid rise in food prices could push 100 million people in poor countries deeper into poverty. Meanwhile, the IMF said hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of starvation. Children and other vulnerable groups are especially at risk from food insecurity. UNICEF expressed concern that the increasing food prices could force families to spend more on less food, and families might remove their children from school so that they can work and earn money.

Thousands of children go to bed hungry, survive on one meal a day or eat meals that are nutritionally deficient. The normal growth and development of these children is being seriously affected.

According to Josette Sheeran, the World Food Program’s Executive Director, a “silent tsunami” of hunger is sweeping the world’s most desperate nations. The price of rice has more than doubled in the last five weeks. The World Bank estimates food prices have risen by 83 percent in three years. Tackling hunger is a moral challenge to each of us and it is also a threat to the political and economic stability of nations, Brown said. Source: MSNBC.com

h3.Impact on children’s rights

There will be impacts across a range of children’s rights areas:

  • Hunger: cheaper diets are less diverse and have fewer micronutrients, hence increased risk of stunting; if families cannot afford even enough calories (let alone diverse foods) then acute malnutrition and starvation become possibilities, but this is extreme – what follows below is more likely to occur first
  • Health: fewer people can afford treatment where healthcare is not free and indirect costs (transport, etc.) are significant
  • Education: enrolment and attendance at expensive secondary level falls, and for poorer families enrolment at primary level may also fall
  • Protection: an alternative to cutting spending is to try to increase income, and for the poorest this may mean resorting to more dangerous and exploitative means of earning income: e.g. taking children out of school and sending them to work instead, or engaging in transactional sex.

Fortunately, through the active participation and generosity of our sponsors, Develop Africa is providing opportunities for children in desperate need in Africa. Sponsors play an integral part of our program of helping children overcome the mind-set of poverty.

Develop Africa will sponsor one child for a year providing much-needed food, education, health care and clothing for an African child in need. Members will be provided information on the sponsored child. When this goal is exceeded additional children will be sponsored.

To review, select and sponsor a child (on your own), please visit this page: http://www.developafrica.org/child_sponsorship

Join today and help secure a brighter future for these children.
