- Every minute, 35 children worldwide are born into hunger. Globally, 10.2 million children suffered from severe malnutrition in 2024. Many are too weak to stand; some are unable to sit up; and many miss their milestones compared to healthy children of the same age.
- This festive season, we can give them a gift of hope—a donation for high nutrient peanut paste sachets, each providing 500 calories of life-saving nutrition; or a full malnutrition treatment course to restore their health.
- Donate now to help them grow stronger and share many more festive seasons with their families.
