Nearly 50% of all child deaths are related to hunger

It’s heartbreaking. But it doesn’t have to end this way.

In 2024 our life-saving programmes reached an incredible 26.5 million people across 57 countries. But more children need our help.

You were recently kind enough to take the time out of your day to speak with us about our work – thank you. What we do is only possible thanks to people like you.

Will you take this kindness one step further and set up a regular gift today to help end hunger? Even a small monthly gift can provide life-saving food and help families to rebuild their lives.
