FOUR MILLION CHILDREN IN RI MALNOURISHED : WFP OFFICIAL
Jakarta, Aug. 29 (ANTARA) - At least four million children in Indonesia currently suffer from malnutrition and invisible hunger, according to Deputy Representative of the World Food Program (WFP) in Indonesia Bradley Busseto here on Friday.
Busseto urged all parties, especially businessmen, to donate funds to WFP for implementation of concrete programs to feed malnourished and hungry children.
"We hope that in the coming years, we can reduce the number of children who suffer from malnutrition in this country," he said here on Friday when launching a fund raising program called World Hunger Relief Program organized by Pizza Hut Indonesia.
During last year's Ramadhan (fasting month), Pizza Hut managed to collect funds amounting to RP1.677 billion for WFP.
Director of Pizza Hut Indonesia Budi Setiawan hoped that during this year's Ramadhan his restaurants would be able to collect more funds for WFP.
