2015 SOUTHEASTERN SUSSEX CROP WALK!
Did you know that malnutrition is an underlying cause of death for 3.5 million children each year? That’s about one-third of all child deaths in the world.Upper arm circumference is one measurement of malnutrition.
An average 5-year-old’s upper arm is about 7 inches around. A severely malnourished child’s upper arm would be less than 3 inches around. Factors contributing to this malnutrition are many – drought and disasters that decimate crops, lack of clean water, poor sanitation and hygiene, and rising food prices, to name a few.
But we can help save lives – and give children a chance to grow healthy and strong! When we walk in the CROP Hunger Walk, we’re providing micronutrients that support better health and development. Helping communities gain access to safe water. And giving families the tools and training to grow or buy nutritious food.
We hope you’ll help raise funds and walk with us on May 3, 2015 at 1pm at the Bethany Beach Bandstand – or donate to / join our team – so we can wipe out malnutrition for good!
