Hunger is a thief. It robs children of the chance to grow up healthy. It steals their energy and gives disease the upper hand. It's threatening their lives and futures. Now the crisis in Ukraine is pushing kids in parts of Africa even closer to starvation. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can provide life-saving food aid to children weak with hunger.
With the looming threat of famine, tens of thousands of children could starve to death because of food shortages. Your urgent, life-saving action is needed now. You can provide urgent food aid to malnourished children and help them recover their health now.
Please provide life-saving food aid to children facing starvation today. You can help stop hunger, malnutrition and the onset of starvation. You can save lives today. Please make an urgent donation now.
This life-saving partnership provides emergency food to those impacted by conflict or long-term food shortages. Together with your support, we're providing monthly food rations and meals in schools, feeding malnourished children and teaching families how to cook nutritious meals. We're empowering families by providing cash and e-cards so they can purchase their own food.
In 2021, the generosity of New Zealanders enabled us to reach 4,634,448 people with life-saving food aid across 13 countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Central African Republic, Lebanon, Myanmar, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.
Elizabeth and her children now eat two meals a day
Thanks to the compassion of generous people just like you, Elizabeth and her children no longer face crippling hunger. "I receive cereals, pulses and other supplies for my children. We also receive cash every month for milling. My children and I can eat at least two meals a day with porridge for breakfast." Like every mum, Elizabeth is desperate to see her children healthy. She's very grateful for the life-saving food aid she receives. And that finally, her children can smile. "As long as my children have food to eat every day, I have no worries," she says. Without the food aid they receive, both Elizabeth and her children’s lives would be on the line.
The transforming power of high energy "wonder" biscuits
When Manero and her three little children arrived at the refugee camp in Uganda, they were haggard, pale and on the edge of starvation. They had spent seven gruelling days on the road, trekking helplessly, fleeing the violence in South Sudan. When they reached the World Vision desk they each received two packs of World Food Programme high energy biscuits. This was the first nutritious food they had eaten in days. After eating half a pack each, the transformation was immediate. The children's faces began to ease, and they quickly started to regain a sense of wellbeing.
