Christmas Appeal

Children are facing the worst hunger crisis in decades.

Right now, hunger is one of the biggest threats to children’s lives.

Extreme weather, conflict and an unfair global food system have combined to push millions to the edge of starvation.

Tragically, every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger and malnutrition.

For the children who survive, relentless hunger saps them of their strength, limiting their chance to grow, learn, and thrive. Too hungry to focus at school, often forced into work, or married off just to survive.

No child should die from hunger. Every child deserves the food they need to develop a healthy body and mind.

Your gift this Christmas could give hungry children the food they urgently need.

Help save children's lives this Christmas

Every 10 seconds, a child dies from hunger and malnutrition

The world is facing the worst hunger crisis in decades. Hundreds of millions of people went hungry last year. Because hunger isn't just about food. It's about everything breaking at once.

A crisis compounded by conflict, climate shocks, and rising costs

Conflict is forcing families from their homes, breaking systems that fed them. Extreme weather means more droughts and floods, but fewer safe harvests. A brutal combination eroding soil, livelihoods, and hope.

No child’s future should be threatened by hunger

Crisis stacked upon crisis push prices up and families into impossible choices. Such as which child will eat today. And who should stop school to find work or help at home.
