Hunger is threatening children’s lives.

In places like Somaliland, the food situation is becoming more desperate

Hungry children like Abdi^* are at risk. The 17-month-old boy was diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition. His grandmother felt powerless to protect him from the deadly condition.

“We don't have enough food to consume … We are really struggling,” says grandmother Ayaan^*.

Around the world 35 children are born into hunger every minute. But it’s so much more than just a number. It’s someone like Abdi. A young child whose life is under threat.

Your urgent gift today can help provide them with the healthcare they need to survive and thrive.
