John, Faisa lives with her family in a displacement camp in Somalia, where conflict and drought have increased prices and made food scarce, putting millions at risk of severe food insecurity.
Faisa has often gone hungry when her family was unable to buy food, or she’s had to split what little they did have between her and her six siblings. She dreams of becoming a doctor one day, but hunger makes it difficult to focus on her studies.
“When I go to school and feel hungry, I can’t read, write anything or play… I feel the pain of hunger in my stomach. I cry and even my brother cries.”
Save the Children began providing cash transfers to Faisa’s mother each month, making it easier for them to afford food.
Now, Faisa eats three meals a day, giving her the energy to study and play with other children. “Since we started receiving this money, our lives have changed,” says Faisa’s mother.
John: This wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of people like you. But there are millions of children like Faisa still facing hunger, conflict and the worsening climate crisis around the world – and we need your help.
