What your donation could do

 

 We’ve been fighting hunger for over a century.  But Covid and the climate crisis have made it tougher than we ever could have expected for families to get enough to eat.

3 million children across the world are dangerously malnourished. But there is a cure:
 
  • High-nutrient peanut paste can save a child’s life with essential vitamins and minerals to protect them from malnutrition.
  • A week’s worth costs just £5!
  • We have the tools, the medicine and the right people! With your donation we can make sure children have the best chance of the future they deserve.

If you can afford to, will you help children survive hunger this Christmas? Donate today to help children see the wonder in the world.

Sorella's Story

Alix*, 5, from Venezuela, plays near her family's apartment in Lima, Peru

Closer to your home families in the UK have tough months ahead too. We are helping by supporting food pantries or giving emergency grants to more than 5,000 children.

7-year-old Sorella knows why good food is so important. "Because you'll get really strong and healthy," she says outside her local Food Pantry Store near Manchester. "If children are hungry, they don't really care about drawing, and they'll just really want some food."

Our colleagues here in the UK are working around the clock to make sure children have enough good food during the cost-of-living crisis!

No matter where they are
 

Help us make sure children have enough good food during these tough times.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE COMFORT FOOD?



Every child is unique. So are their tastes. But from Manchester to Mogadishu, there something all kids have in common – they take some feeding!

To say thank you for all your support through a difficult year, we want to share a warming recipe to keep costs down. Inspired by children in Somalia who are in the middle of a terrible hunger crisis right now.


how we have helped through the years

 

1921: World War 1 Aftermath - We delivered over 600 tons of food, set up 1,400 kitchens and fed more than 650,000 people. Our first major appeal helped children caught in the Russian famine - the biggest hunger crisis in history. 1944: Free School Meals - Poor nutrition was a huge problem in 1940s Britain. Years of war had left millions struggling to make ends meet. We researched the effects of unemployment on children’s nutrition, then pushed the government to introduce free school meals and milk for all children. 1984: Emergency Response - When famine hit Ethiopia, we distributed life-saving supplies, feeding 7,000 malnourished children every day. 2021: Cash Transfers mean parents can buy the essentials they know their kids need. Drought-resistant seeds are helping vulnerable communities cope with climate change, keeping thousands of children healthy and happy. Chickens provide families in Bangladesh with eggs – an excellent source of nutrition and income. High Energy Peanut Paste provides babies with essential vitamins and minerals, protecting them from malnutrition. This is where the giggling toddlers and peanuts come in!

HUNGER IS NEEDLESSLY THREATENING THE FUTURE OF CHILDREN EVERYWHERE

 

The cost-of-living crisis and the climate crisis have made it tougher than we ever could have expected for families to get enough to eat.
