Asia

Millions across Asia face extreme poverty, exposed to natural disasters and cut off from reliable, nutritious food.

Hunger in Asia Remains a Pressing Challenge

Asia is home to over half the world’s hungry—where inequality, malnutrition, conflict, and disasters collide.

Hunger’s Toll in Asia Hits Millions

Anabia Story: A Mother in Afghanistan

Anabia, a mother of five, gave birth to her youngest child at home just two months ago. The closest health center is hours away—and even when reachable, it often lacks vital supplies and medicine. Ongoing conflict and relentless drought have made food scarce and survival harder.

“We’re both very weak,” Anadia says. “We barely have any food—just some rice, wheat, and flour. Nothing more.”

In her remote Afghan village, help came through Global Faith For Action’s mobile health and nutrition teams. They screened Anadia and quickly diagnosed her with malnutrition. She was provided with therapeutic food and fortified “super cereals” to support her recovery and help her regain strength.

With cautious hope, Nadia shares her dream: “I want my children to grow up, study, and help others. I don’t want them to live the life we’ve lived.”

Solutions to Hunger and Poverty in Asia

Global Faith For Action provides lifesaving treatment to children suffering from malnutrition. We partner with local governments, parents, and communities to bring treatment closer to children and others in need. Our teams also educate people and encourage behavior change to help prevent hunger from occurring in the first place.

Our food security and livelihoods programs empower vulnerable communities to improve their access to food, income, and markets. We help small-scale farmers to incorporate climate-smart agriculture techniques, increase production, raise livestock, and grow more nutritious crops.

In conflicts and natural disasters, we improve access to clean water, safe sanitation, and good hygiene and provide cash transfers to help families buy what they need.

LET'S TAKE ACTION

Transforming Health and Harvests

In India, Global Faith For Action health workers deliver nutrition treatment and counseling in clinics, communities, and even door-to-door.

In Pakistan, we support farmers on the frontlines of climate change—guiding them to grow more nutritious crops, restore damaged soil, and build resilient gardens using local resources.
