Last chance to match your gift and help us support malnourished children. Donate now.
 
Hi John,

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 life-saving 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.

Sincerely,

Kellie Ryan
International Rescue Committee

Subject: URGENT: 1.7 million Somalis face food insecurity
 
 
 
No parent should have to watch their child suffer from starvation. Match your gift. — DONATE NOW »
 
 
 
 


The summer heat is difficult for everyone – but especially for children in drought-stricken Somalia.

1.7 million people in the region are facing acute food insecurity; double what we’ve seen in previous years.

At this moment, children are disappearing before their parents' eyes. They are waiting for someone, anyone, to step in and help them. By donating now your gift will be doubled, helping twice as many parents and children in the Horn of Africa and worldwide.
 
We know 1.7 million is a big number to take in.

So here are three parents – real people named Aisho, Taliso, and Najmo – talking about why your donation matters.





 
 
 
Give now and your matched gift can help us support parents like Aisho, Taliso, and Najmo.
Please act quickly.
These families are running out of time.
 
 
 
 
 
All gifts, up to $200,000 will be matched before 11:59pm ET on 8/16/2019.
