World hunger is on the rise. Shockingly, more than 828 million people still go to bed hungry every night.

Food supply disruptions caused by conflict in places like Ukraine and Yemen are increasing prices, and frequent extreme weather like droughts and typhoons are making it harder for farmers to grow crops. With the economic impact of Covid-19 still ongoing, the risk has never been greater.

We work in 51 countries around the world fighting hunger and malnutrition. In 2022 our programmes reached 28 million people. But more children need our help.

Now’s the time to pull together to turn the tide on this global hunger crisis. Your support will change lives.

Malnutrition has devastating effects on children

  • 2.3M

    More than 2 million children die from malnutrition every year.

  • 75%

    Three-quarters of malnourished children under five don't get the treatment they need.

  • 1 in 10

    Globally 1 in 10 people around the world are undernourished or going hungry.

Your support matters

We won’t give up until the world is free from hunger, but many more children need our help.

With your support, we can:

  • ensure access to healthy, nutritious food
  • provide clean water, good hygiene and health services
  • train more community health workers to treat malnourished children
  • inform more families about how to stay healthy and prevent more children from dying
  • provide emergency support to families fleeing conflict

Stop hunger today. Life-saving treatments are cheaply available and extremely effective. You can help us scale up our work to reach more children in need.
