It is not too late to save children’s lives
The hunger crisis across South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya is forcing millions from their homes in search food and water causing children to leave behind their education and their future. Uganda is now host to over one million refugees fleeing conflict in South Sudan with more arriving every day.
As many as 6 million children across East Africa are struggling with acute malnutrition and need emergency nutrition to prevent lifelong damage or death. We’re on the ground responding to the rising malnutrition rates, the mass displacement of people and the ongoing drought.
We are providing healthcare and nutrition to those in need by giving malnourished children lifesaving nutrition and educating pregnant women and new mothers on how to stay healthy.
We are supplying clean and safe water to thousands of displaced people and refugees by treating water with purification sachets, trucking water into internally displaced camps and providing safe water storage containers.
We are putting children first by providing education to children forced out of school and offering psychosocial support to young people affected by the crisis.
