No Child Should Die of Hunger

A single goal
The Movement Against Malnutrition is a new venture, founded by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), with a single goal: to ensure that no child dies of hunger, especially when we have scalable and proven solutions.

“When I see a child on the road to health and the reaction on the mother’s face, it’s
usually a reaffirmation that the work that the IRC
is supporting in treating these malnourished children has an impact at the individual level. But also at a society level.”
