The U.N. reports that 1.3 billion people around the world live in extreme poverty and over 2 billion people suffer from moderate to severe levels of food insecurity, with women and children being at higher risk levels. According to the report, over 17 percent of the world’s population lack regular access to nutritious and sufficient food.
Additionally, 2.2 billion people currently don’t have access to clean drinking water, and 4.2 billion, or 55% of the world’s population, are without safely managed sanitation.
In 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic sparked “the worst humanitarian crisis since World War II”, according to the Executive Director of the WFP. ISK collaborate with schools, centers, and shelters, both national and international, to provide food and basic provisions to impoverished children and their families. We provide monthly raw food distribution to impoverished widows, single mothers, and their children. We work to improve the living conditions of these children and to ensure that their nutrition, personal hygiene, and basic needs are met.
