It doesn’t take much to Take Away Hunger.
For as little as $6, the cost of 1 Thai take-away, you can take away hunger for 100 Thai street children!
For the cost of 1 Indian take-away, you can take away hunger for 100 abandoned Indian children!
For the cost of 1 burger, you can provide 100 hot and nutritious meals for hungry children across the world!
For the cost of your weekly take-away meal you can send 100 meals straight to starving children. In fact over the course of a year, that weekly support will actually provide 5200 meals!

feeding everychild everyday
Under the direction of Peter Sumrall, in 2005 Feed The Hungry began a new initiative specifically to feed children, who have been taken in by Christian Orphanages around the globe:-
- Children who have been orphaned by war and disease
- Children from unimaginably poor families
- Children torn from their homes and turned into refugees by natural and man-made tragedies
- Children who, without the care and protection of these Christian orphanages, would be desperately needy and terribly hungry
"This is a chance to fulfill a significant part of the vision that God originally gave my father, 18 years ago" says Peter Sumrall; "it's been my desire to return to the work my father began in the 60's -- working with Christian Orphanages."
Over the years, LeSEA has fed, clothed and educated literally millions of children. Dr Sumrall never lost his “soft spot” for children and in his final years wanted more than anything to reach out to those who could not protect themselves, could not care for themselves, nor feed themselves -- the children.
It is FTH’s privilege at such a time as this to be able to reach out and help children who are in need, whose only contact with the Christian community is the efforts supported by FTH. Our goal is to help 100,000 children per day.
It's an opportunity to make a generational impact as we work with well-established ministries in Africa and Asia -- because God's Word will be taught and demonstrated before their very eyes. These children will see the love of God in word and in deed.
As FTH takes over the burden of the daily food requirements it will allow the orphanages to improve the quality of life for their wards, and increase their intake of abandoned children.
"I do not go to take dreadful pictures of malnourished babies near death from hunger or sickness, but to personally feed hungry people and to minister in Jesus name. Then I return to challenge you, to not gasp in horror, but to rise up and help me feed the people and especially those who pray "Our Father who art in heaven... give us this day our daily bread."
Only you can answer the prayers of those good people caught up in the devastation wrought by civil war, famine, drought, and other contributing causes of world hunger. I go where the hunger is at it's worst today... the plight of God's hurting people and the cry of those who have not yet heard the Good News drives me forward to keep running with the vision.
My vision is to inspire God's people to help fulfill the call the Lord gave in Jerusalem, that of feeding the world's hungry and being obediently responsive to the Word of God."
Dr. Lester Sumrall
Founder, LeSEA Global Feed The Hungry
Statement taken from the book
Dark Hole of World Hunger & the Christian Solution
"We began the year with a goal to feed 1000 children each day for 12mths. We have already accomplished that goal. Now we are reaching towards 100,000 children. As God's people open their hearts and give towards this cause, we can feed more children, in more orphanages, in more regions of the world." explains Peter Sumrall.
We can feed every child, every day.
This is our great legacy - our thrilling future.
