Armed conflicts around the world are contributing to a worrying rise in global hunger. And children are most at risk.

There are nearly 80 million displaced people around the world – that number has nearly doubled since 2010. 75% of children whose growth has been affected by malnutrition live in regions plagued by violence. 

Your gift today could help us to treat children diagnosed with sever life-threatening hunger using our six week treatment programme. It could also help us to support families to grow their own food and help build essential infrastructure in refugee camps camps.

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

    Week three: After initial stabilisation as inpatients, children can often continue their care from home. With expert care, many children start showing signs of recovery at this point. Therapeutic feeding programmes support their recovery from home.
