Hunger threatens lives. You can help.
The COVID-19 crisis is fueling severe food shortages.
Without immediate action, the number of people facing extreme hunger worldwide is predicted to double. Women and children living in poverty in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia are at greatest risk.
Thanks to valuable evidence, expertise, and strong local partners in the US, Africa, and Asia, we are meeting this crisis head-on. Implementing a rigorously tested strategy, we have already delivered so much positive — and lasting — change in some of the world’s most impoverished communities. And the work continues.
With your support, our dedicated staff can:
Scale up early detection and treatment of malnutrition in the hardest-hit communities.
Provide the farm skills and tools that families need to grow steady supplies of affordable and nutritious foods.
Deliver vitamin A supplements and fortified foods to boost the health and immunity of young children and their mothers.
Expand knowledge of the benefits of breastfeeding and other nutrition practices to improve infant and maternal health.
There is no time to waste. Your gift today can help provide practical, cost-effective solutions to families at greatest risk.
Together, we can ensure that vulnerable children and adults will survive this crisis – and move toward a healthier, more secure future.
