Around the world, mothers are still rising before the sun. Walking miles for water. Stretching meals across many mouths. Even after Mother's Day, mothers are still doing the work. This week — and every week — we're walking with them.

Hunger and malnutrition are often framed as technical challenges, but communities see something deeper.

In 20 countries, nearly 8,000 people participating in Faith-Based Nutrition Dialogues described hunger as an issue of dignity, responsibility, and justice.

Faith communities are already responding. The question is whether systems are ready to work with them.

Read the findings from 93 dialogues worldwide: https://t.co/I9hj7D6Sry

Protecting children from hunger is a shared responsibility.

🌍 Today is the World Day of Social Justice, an International Day designated by the @UN to promote efforts toward poverty eradication, full and productive employment, and access to social well-being and justice for all.

This year’s theme — “Social Protection and Decent Work for All” — underscores the importance of systems that safeguard dignity, economic security, and opportunity for all, particularly in contexts marked by poverty, conflict, climate shocks, and economic volatility.
