In 2024, no child should ever go hungry. Yet, in all regions of the world, there are millions of families having to make difficult choices to ensure they have enough to eat. Thousands face severe lack of food. Millions are skipping meals. Conflicts, economic instability and the climate crisis are driving hunger around the world, threatening the lives of at least 153 million children.

This is the worst global food crisis in decades and it's putting millions of children's lives on the line. We urgently need the funds to avert this crisis from worsening and preventing more countries falling deeper into disaster.  With your monthly donation, you will be helping children and supporting families beat malnutrition with cash, food vouchers, and medical treatment.

YOUR $35 MONTHLY GIFT COULD TREAT ONE ACUTELY MALNOURISHED CHILD IN AN OUTPATIENT TREATMENT CENTER.

Poverty and rising prices mean many families can't afford food. These knock-on effects of the conflicts and the climate crisis, together are creating a “perfect storm” threatening more droughts and food shortages.

Hunger not only threatens children’s survival, hunger hurts a child’s whole world. It hurts to abandon your home and community to find somewhere with food and water. It hurts when severe hunger breaks down your muscles, weakens your immune system and damages your organs. But this is preventable.

Save the Children is working alongside communities to provide life-changing assistance to children. Our hunger and nutrition programmes help millions every year. But we can’t do it alone. Your gift is urgently needed for these children and their families. Please give to this emergency to allow us to respond where the need is greatest. Your monthly donation could help us fight hunger in one of the worst-affected countries in the world, or support children wherever they need our help the most.
