You can make a difference this Christmas

For some children, their only Christmas wish this year will be for clean water to drink, a full belly of food, or to fall asleep tonight truly feeling safe.

In the last two years, global hunger has increased by 25%. The COVID-19 pandemic and impending global famine are pushing millions of children to the edge of starvation.

But together, we can help protect children from the hunger crisis.

There are many different ways you can help children this Christmas
