Do you know what malnutrition does to a child?
Children need good, nutritious food – that’s a fact.
But right now, millions of children around the world don’t have enough to eat – that’s another fact.
Behind those numbers are children’s experiencing real hunger. Or worse, severe acute malnutrition.
Today’s global food crisis is the result of conflict like the war in Ukraine, skyrocketing food prices, Covid, and the climate emergency.
We know it’s a complex global problem. We also know we need as much support and awareness as possible. Are you ready to help fight the #ChildrensHungerCrisis?
Why should i donate?
Around the world hunger is robbing children of their childhood, but the cure costs peanuts.
Each sachet of peanut paste is a whopping 500 calories and is packed with protein, minerals and vitamins. Plus it’s ready to eat – no need to keep it in the fridge or cook.
Within hours, a malnourished child can start to become themselves again. Their strength begins to return, their eyesight recovers, and organs – kidney, liver, spleen – start to work properly again.
Today’s global food crisis is the result of conflict like the war in Ukraine, skyrocketing food prices, Covid and the climate emergency.
It’s a complex global problem – and it needs both immediate and future-proof solutions. That’s why tackling hunger and child malnutrition is such a priority in 2023.
Right now we’re supporting health workers like Fadumo (pictured above) to provide:
- emergency nutrition and healthcare
- cash to support families
- drought-resistant crops
- water supply and storage
- safe spaces in commuities to play and learn so that they can begin to recover
With your support, we can make this the last children’s food crisis.
