Food for the Hungry Campaign

IU Defenders calls upon governments to allocate three to five percent (3 - 5 %) of their budget to feed the hungry.

Administrative costs for feeding the hungry should be minimized to from five to fifteen percent (5 - 15 %), so that 85 to 95 percent of the budget will directly benefit people who are starving.

Nobel laureate Amartya Sen has posited that famines are not caused by lack of food, but occasioned by the people’s lack or deprivation of access to food.

Governments have the obligation to respect, protect, and fulfill the most basic human right to live.
