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.

Why donate to Action Against Hunger?

Since 1979, we’ve been working relentlessly to save hundreds of thousands of lives each year and build a world free from hunger. We’ve helped millions of people around the world, providing them with life-saving food, shelter and emergency aid.

And we respond to conflict, disasters and emergencies whenever they happen. As a member of the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC), we’re at the forefront of saving lives and delivering aid during major crises – from the conflict in Gaza, to tsunamis in Indonesia and earthquakes in Myanmar, we’re helping to save lives.

We’re proud to say that out of every £1 raised, we spend 94p on charitable activities and services and 6p on fundraising and support costs – so you can rest assured that your donation is making a real difference.

  • Deliver life-saving, nutritious food to children and families on the brink of starvation in conflicts and crises
  • Train more community health workers to spot the signs of malnourishment before it’s too late
  • Provide clean water, hygiene and health services to protect people from deadly diseases
