URGENT:

Malnutrition Crisis

Malnutrition is the biggest killer of under 5s. If they do survive, many carry its terrible effects.

By making a donation to UNICEF today, you will be helping to provide emergency therapeutic food to children in Africa.

Your donation could:

  • Give a child safe water

In emergencies, water supplies often become contaminated, heightening the risks of waterborne illnesses.

  • Provide a severely malnourished child with lifesaving treatment

UNICEF is working with partners to reach children and treat them with Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food.

  • Support children's education

With Africa home to one of the world’s largest population of children and young people, the time to act is now!
