About This Cause
Now Chew On This nonprofit provides nutritious food for vulnerable children and families. The more people who join us, the more we can help children. There's something each of us can do to make things better for children. Eight hundred fifteen million people worldwide do not have enough food to eat. That's 10.7% of the world's population. 45% of all child deaths worldwide are from causes related to undernutrition. That's 3.1 million children each year. In the US, approximately 9 million children are food insecure. Worldwide, there are about 350 million children facing hunger daily. Poor nutrition and hunger are responsible for the death of 3.1 million children annually. That's nearly half of all deaths in children under 5. Our goal is to create sustainable nutrition programs. The children and their parents/guardians will participate in fundraising. They will make items to sell at markets and online. We will provide some of the raw materials, and they will provide the labor. A percentage of the funds from the items sold will go to the families, with the balance set aside to infuse into an account for the local program or school (NGO) our nonprofit is assisting. In the case of NGO schools, organic gardening programs started by the nonprofit will be maintained by the families and staff at the school. These programs will include saving the seeds, composting, companion gardening, crop rotation, and several aspects that will make the programs sustainable, reducing the need for the Now Chew On This nonprofit to continue its financial obligations beyond three years. In addition to growing produce, Now Chew On This nonprofit will provide classes that teach the best way to prepare recipes for optimum nutrition value. The recipes will consider the family's ethnic backgrounds, customary tastes, spices, and textures to encourage long-term healthy eating.
