Severe hunger is putting millions of children at risk. Your donation today can help save lives.

Their tiny bodies are  growing weaker – not because there's no treatment, but because there's no access.

But there’s good news: you can change that.

With just $40, you can help provide life-saving nutrition to two children.

Therapeutic food. Vitamin supplements. Emergency care. It’s that simple. It’s that powerful.

  • $20 = Emergency food for one child
  • $40 = Treatment for two malnourished children
  • $120 = Support for six children in urgent need

And if you donate before June 30, your gift is tax-deductible

You are the difference

When Abdi was just 17 months old, he became dangerously malnourished. 
 
“We didn’t know what the child was suffering from,” said his grandmother, Ayaan.  “We could see that he was sick… He was very weak.”

Thanks to support from people like you, Abdi was diagnosed by a Save the Children nurse.

He was given emergency treatment: nutritional biscuits, vitamin syrup , and follow-up care.

 “As you can see him now... even if he is weak, he is playing with others and feeling much better.” – Ayaan 

This recovery was made possible by someone who chose to give. Now it’s your turn.

The clock is ticking. Donate before June 30

Malnutrition doesn’t wait. Neither can we. Your tax-deductible donation could be the reason a child survives. Help save as many lives as you can before June 30.
