MOVING FORWARD, WE WILL BUILD ON OUR EXPERIENCES TO CONFRONT THE MOST SERIOUS CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME: ELIMINATING THE INJUSTICE OF GLOBAL HUNGER.
As an organization with a rare commitment to communities affected by hunger, we directly assisted some 7.3 million people last year, along with countless others through our efforts to build local capacity and strengthen national health systems worldwide. We were confronted with a number of humanitarian challenges in 2012, from food shortages across Africas western Sahel, political tensions in the new nation of South Sudan, and displaced communities faced with extreme hardship across Pakistan and D.R. Congo. All in all, the need for humanitarian assistance only increased in 2012, and Action Against Hunger was once again on the frontlines, working with the most vulnerable to restore self-sufficiency. The crisis that unfolded across Africas western Sahel was particularly worrisome, with severe food shortages and drought crippling entire communities and leaving more than 18 million people in need of urgent assistance. With our long-standing presence across the region in Niger, Mauritania, Mali, Chad, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso our teams were able to mount emergency response efforts that provided over 1,275,000 people with vital access to clean water, emergency rations, nutritional care, and lifesaving therapeutic treatment for tens of thousands of severely malnourished children. Moving forward, we will build on our experiences in large-scale emergencies, like the one that affected the western Sahel. Our agency is committed to responding whenever and wherever disasters strike, to reaching far greater numbers of at-risk children, and to confronting the most serious challenge of our time: eliminating the injustice of global hunger. All our best, and happy reading!
