1 in 4 children globally live in severe child food poverty due to inequity, conflict, and climate crises.


Children experiencing this level of food poverty are up to 50 per cent more likely to suffer from life-threatening malnutrition


Your donations will provide ready-to-use therapeutic food to treat malnourished children


 
Colombia 2021

Globally, 1 in 5 deaths among children under 5 is due to severe wasting, a leading threat to child survival. Malnutrition stunts growth, causing irreversible damage to bodies and brains, depriving children of healthy, happy futures. According to UNICEF, 1 in 4 children under 5 faces severe food poverty, increasing their risk of wasting by 50%. Every minute, six children die from severe malnutrition, with millions more suffering lifelong effects.

In Colombia, the situation is dire. Climate change has led to over 13,000 cases of child malnutrition in the first half of 2024 alone, putting many children at high risk of death. To save a child's life, we urgently need 100 sachets of therapeutic food, costing 140 euros per child. Your immediate support is critical. Act now to help these children and deliver life-saving food to those in need.
