How many did you get right?

This year has been a hard one for so many families. Climate change is pushing farmers in Somalia off the land their families have worked on for generations. Conflict in Yemen has kept families from building safe homes and livelihoods to feed their children. And then COVID-19 interrupted the global food supply and eliminated millions of jobs.  

Thanks to the generosity of concerned donors like you, Save the Children was able to scale up hunger prevention operations around the world this year. We provided crisis hunger intervention and long-term support for nearly two million people, from the United States to Somalia and beyond.  

We’re so grateful for your support, and we hope you’ll help us reach even more children and families suffering from hunger in the coming year. A gift of just $50 can feed a hungry child for three months. Will you make sure a child gets the nutrients they need for healthy growth this month?
