At least four million children in Indonesia currently suffer from malnutrition and invisible hunger, an official of the World Food Program (WFP) said on Friday.
All parties, especially businessmen, should donate funds to WFP for implementation of concrete programs to feed malnourished and hungry children, WFP's Deputy Representative in Indonesia Bradley Busseto said.
"We hope that in the coming years, we can reduce the number of children who suffer from malnutrition in this country," he said 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 1.677 billion rupiah (one U.S. dollar equals 9200 rupiah) 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.
