Preferred term

children's hunger relief  

Definition

  • THE CHILDREN's HUNGER Relief Fund (CHRF) was established in 1975 by a group of American businessmen who were inspired by the tale of the Good Samaritan in the Bible to create a charity to assist needy children. This has led to the creation of overseas missions to open and operate orphanages and care centers in some of the poorest countries of the world, including Afghanistan, Rwanda, and the Darfur region of Sudan.
