How Much Money Would It Take To End World Hunger

World hunger is malnutrition caused by common factors affecting millions of people across regions and continents. These factors include wars, bad weather, lack of transportation options, falling crop prices, and rising food prices.

Estimates of how much money it would take to end world hunger range from $7 billion to $265 billion per year.

Why such a big range? Because experts disagree about how to end world hunger. Hunger has many causes:

Bad weather
Disease outbreaks
Pests
War
Falling prices for crops
Rising prices for food
Low wages or unemployment

No single solution can address them all.

World hunger is a global problem, and progress will be made community by community. Later on, we'll list some of the best hunger-fighting programs. Please consider donating to at least one.

Tips For Evaluating Charities

Now that you know why, how much, and what to give, the next question is ... where? With money in your Giving Fund, you're ready to start granting to charities. You probably have one or more causes that you've already decided to support – perhaps your local church or a missionary working at home or abroad. But you also probably have other needs that God is calling you to for the first time, such as ending modern-day slavery or helping young couples adopt. Whether you're granting $100 or $100,000, you want your dollars to go as far as possible ... to change more lives and make the biggest possible impact. Here are some helpful points to consider from a professional advisor and author Alan Gotthardt, from his book The Eternity Portfolio: Purpose People Philosophy Performance Process And just like in financial investing, the larger the amounts, the larger the stakes. If you're granting $10,000, $100,000, or even more from your Giving Fund to a charity, you should spend even more time and effort to ensure that you're on the right course. "Major gifts are the least researched major purchases that most families make every year," he explains. Read the source article at Christian Giving
