THE CHILDREN of the Sahel need your help NOW
The impacts of climate change, conflict and political insecurity are multiplying existing levels of extreme poverty and a lack of sustainable development opportunities. Food insecurity is affecting millions of families across the Sahel. Conflict in Ukraine has contributed to the spiraling of food and fertilizer prices, heavily impacting communities already facing multiple deprivations and poverty.
UNICEF’s Call to action covers the central Sahel (Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger) as well as the neighboring coastal countries (Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea and Togo).
