The Faith-Based Coalition for Global Nutrition is a campaign led by The 2030 Collaborative and supported by the Eleanor Crook Foundation to build a network of advocates to speak out about the complexities and challenges of malnutrition that affects one in three people around the world every day.
Our Declaration and Commitment
We commit our voices to speaking up to maintain or increase funding for U.S. global food security and nutrition programs for women and children in developing nations. We will leverage our networks in the United States and offer our personal support to increase advocacy for federal funding and effective policies to support bilateral and multilateral food security and nutrition programs. As Christian leaders, we call on others to join our effort to champion life-saving measures to "feed the hungry" as Jesus calls us to do in Matthew 25.
