Our race against hunger has brought us to 1960. That year we teamed up with the UN and other aid agencies in the first effort at addressing the problem of food insecurity with something more than sacks of food aid for the hungry. We looked to involve developing countries in analysing the causes of food crises and malnutrition, and as a result find sustainable solutions. It proved to be successful, and this philosophy remains critical to our work today. Pictured is a Save the Children garden program in Niger. We're helping women produce nutritious food for their families where otherwise they'd be forced to survive on a few meals of maize. Today we’re still working for long term sustainable solutions to hunger. Join our Race Against Hunger: http://bit.ly/Q5INDc
