This time last year, Ismail suffered from severe malnutrition. Today, he happily runs around, and proudly helps his mum collect water. He's one of the lucky ones.

We know there is enough food in the world to feed everyone, yet over 2 million children die every year, because they don't have enough nutritious food. Together we can change this and make 2013 the beginning of the end for child hunger.

We've joined over 100 charities to campaign for a fairer food system, and highlight some of the issues that mean Ismail, and children like him, go to bed hungry every night.

Ahead of the Budget on 20 March, we need you to email your MP to press them to raise the issues of aid and tax with the Chancellor. Please join us and raise your voice to tell the UK Government to take the lead in ending world hunger for good.
