We unite with communities and partners worldwide to make zero hunger possible—together.
Solving world hunger isn’t a one-step fix—it requires a bold, layered approach. From strengthening sustainable farming and local food systems to tackling poverty, inequality, and access to essentials like education, clean water, and healthcare, every piece is vital in building lasting food security.
Global Faith For Action was among the first to develop lifesaving treatments for malnourished children. Today, our teams work in health centers, through mobile clinics, and directly in communities to identify and treat malnutrition. Each year, our nutrition programs reach hundreds of thousands of mothers and children, delivering hope and healing where it’s needed most.
Our teams equip community health workers to guide parents and caregivers on the power of breastfeeding and better nutrition—giving children the best start in life. Through peer support groups, we engage pregnant women, new mothers, and even fathers to promote essential practices in health, hygiene, and child care. We also empower families with simple tools to detect malnutrition at home, so children can be monitored regularly and receive care without delay.
Conflict, climate disasters, food insecurity, and illness can leave deep emotional scars, often leading to trauma, depression, and mental health struggles. For parents, this emotional toll can make it harder to bond with or care for their children—putting young lives at risk of malnutrition and illness.
Global Faith For Action responds with compassionate care: providing psychological first aid in emergencies, mental health counseling, and safe spaces where women and children can heal, connect, and find peace. We help individuals build resilience and develop the tools to cope and recover.
Robust health systems do more than save lives—they give children the chance to thrive. Global Faith For Action supports and strengthens community health systems by sharing technical expertise, building local capacity, and filling critical gaps in resources and funding. Through close collaboration with communities and local governments, we work to enhance health and nutrition services—creating sustainable, long-term impact where it matters most.
For over five years, our teams have led the way in nutrition research—pioneering life-saving treatments and shaping global best practices. From developing breakthrough nutrition products to testing innovative protocols in the field, our work has transformed care for malnourished children. Today, we continue to push boundaries, advancing new strategies to prevent and treat malnutrition and save even more young lives.
“Watching Kafayat laugh and play today feels like a miracle,” says her mother, Mayana. “There was a time I feared losing her. Thanks to Global Faith For Action, she's healthy—and I’m filled with hope.”
To close the distance between remote communities and essential care, Global Faith For Action partners with local health workers. We equip them with the training and tools to identify and treat malnutrition right in the villages they serve—bringing lifesaving care directly to the children who need it most.
Malnutrition remains one of the deadliest threats to children worldwide—contributing to nearly half of all child deaths. With over 40 years of experience on the frontlines of hunger, Global Faith For Action is recognized globally for its expertise in saving the lives of malnourished children.
From remote villages to crisis zones, refugee camps to stable communities, we work in more than 55 countries to prevent and treat undernutrition. Whether responding to emergencies or strengthening long-term systems, our mission is clear: protect the health and future of the world’s most vulnerable—especially children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers.
The first 1,000 days—from pregnancy to a child’s second birthday—are a vital foundation for lifelong health. Proper nutrition during this window strengthens immunity, fuels brain and body development, and dramatically increases a child’s chance to survive and thrive.
