John, I just learned that we fell short of our critical $60,000 goal for World Food Day. But I had to share the good news right away: Our generous donors have extended their deadline until midnight tonight,* giving you one final chance to have your gift doubled for children like Namushi: Will you rush $30 or more now?

Nine-year-old Namushi lives in Zambia. She loves to sing and dreams of becoming a teacher one day. But right now, the worst drought in 20 years is limiting her family's access to food and water – making it hard for her to learn, play and dream. 

With your matched donation today, we can help children like Namushi who are facing hunger, poverty, the climate crisis and other challenges. 

Please, rush a matched donation of $30 or more now to have every dollar go further. You can help millions of children get the nutritious food, clean water and other resources they need to not only survive but thrive.

World Food Day may be over, but Save the Children's work to help all children grow up healthy, educated and safe is ongoing. Thank you for all you do to feed children's futures.

*A generous group of donors has donated to a matching gift fund to inspire more donors like you to support our work, and every dollar you donate will unlock a dollar from this pool. To unlock this match and help us reach our goal, please click the donation link in this email. All donations will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $60,000, or until midnight on Oct. 17, 2024. Monthly gifts will be matched for the first monthly installment only. If we meet our match goal prior to receiving your one-time or monthly donation, your donation will not be matched but will still go to support our programs.
