South Africa’s First Lady Calls for an End to Stunting and Child Hunger

Why Global Citizens Should Care
Food insecurity is a serious issue in South Africa and has only increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also has a serious impact on the growth and development of the country’s children. The UN’s Global Goal 2 calls for an end to world hunger, and this cannot be achieved without immediate action to ensure food security for all South Africa’s children. Join the movement and take action on this issue here.
