Right now, millions of children are facing extreme malnutrition.

Doctors and nurses at our emergency hunger clinics are working around the clock to treat children as fast as possible.

But in 2026, funding cuts are hitting us hard. It’s a challenge to keep our clinic shelves stocked with specialist milk, food and medicine.

Your donation now can help our clinics stay equipped and ready to treat critically ill children as soon as they come through the door.

What happens inside the clinics?

Doctors, nurses and healthcare workers are in a race against time to diagnose and treat severe malnutrition.

But they can only do that if they have the right therapeutic milks, medicines, and equipment to detect and treat malnutrition before it’s too late.

Every donation could help keep our emergency hunger clinics fully equipped – so that when the next child comes to the clinic, our teams have exactly what they need to save their life.
