The 2021 Global Hunger Index (GHI) points out that nearly 1 billion people on this planet are starving.

Hunger is mainly caused by conflicts, climate challenges, and economic declines. The number one driver of hunger on Earth is man-made conflicts. Conflicts tear families apart, destroy infrastructure, and disrupt food production, pushing 80 million innocent civilians to the most extreme levels of hunger.

Meanwhile, the economic challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic persist and are likely to continue to increase food prices and drive hunger. 

Committed to the mission of “making the world a better place through blockchain”, CoinEx Charity, a global charity organization, has launched a $10-million charity fund that will be used to help families living in hunger. Through humanitarian aid such as post-disaster assistance and food/cash donation, CoinEx Charity will contribute to the elimination of hunger.
