I recently came back from Somalia – and keep thinking about Maryamrun, an IRC community health worker who spends every day helping children facing starvation.

“No one can ignore a child who is in pain,” Maryamrum said to me. “We feel the pain a child goes through. We comfort the mothers and think about ways to calm them down…”
I think we can all agree that no mother should have to watch her child disappear before her eyes. By donating to the IRC, you can help many more children survive. And if you make an immediate gift, your donation will be matched.

On my trip, I was reminded of how big of an impact your gift can make. Your generosity makes mobile medical clinics possible. These clinics are deployed to hard-to-reach places, equipped with lifesaving nutritional support and medicine. For children on the brink of starvation, a visit from a mobile medical clinic can come just in time.
Thank you for standing with families – and giving in honor of children who have yet to be reached. Donate now to support the IRC’s work around the world.

No parent should have to watch their child slowly disappear.
Unfortunately, that’s the reality in places like South Sudan, where hundreds of thousands of children are on the brink of starvation. In total, an estimated 7 million South Sudanese people are in need of food assistance this summer—the highest in the country’s history.
We have nearly 500 people on the ground saving lives—but we can’t do this critical work alone. Help us save TWICE as many lives in South Sudan and worldwide now.
MATCH MY GIFT
