Friend,
Every child needs food to survive. Yet, one in four children are being denied access to quality food sources and deprived of the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.
The global food poverty crisis is growing daily — from Sudan to Gaza and beyond.
Conflict, climate crises and rising food prices — combined with the overabundance of unhealthy foods — are forcing millions of children into severe food poverty in early childhood: the very stage of life when nutrition is vital to healthy development.
UNICEF is responding to advocate for global action and deliver humanitarian assistance to children who are facing the gravest consequences of food poverty today.
On this World Food Day, make a gift to help UNICEF deliver essential nutritional treatment and relief to the millions of children suffering from this crisis >>
Friend, the stakes could not be higher.
Children experiencing high levels of food poverty are up to 50 percent more likely to suffer from life-threatening malnutrition. Their lives and futures hang in the balance.
Almost two thirds of the children living in food poverty reside in only 20 countries in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. UNICEF works in these countries and around the world to prevent and treat malnutrition while providing extended care to children.
Your gift makes it possible for UNICEF to respond for children — whether it’s preventing, detecting and treating malnutrition or rushing relief to crisis zones. Send help now to reach children and end child food poverty around the world.
Thank you,
UNICEF USA
