John,

Malnutrition is linked to nearly half of all deaths of children under five. But while poor nutrition is often life-threatening, it's almost always avoidable.

Yet as we speak, 50 million children suffer from acute malnutrition, and far too many will die from it without treatment. That's why I'm writing with this most urgent request:

Help us reach refugee children with the medicine and emergency food they need to survive, as well as continue our lifesaving programs in crisis zones worldwide. For just 5 more days, your gift can make a BIG impact. Find out just how big below...

John, malnutrition is often a symptom of larger, systemic problems. It is the result of situations far beyond a child's — or their family's — control.

In East Africa, where swarms of locusts are devouring crops, food sources are disappearing in seconds. And lockdowns due to COVID-19 are preventing families across Africa from safely accessing nutritious food.

In the face of these deadly threats, you can make a real, tangible difference for children and families worldwide. Every second — and every dollar — counts.

With your generous support, worth even more for just 5 MORE DAYS, you can help us scale up our work for children and families in crisis-affected countries.

Today your gift could go FURTHER to help the IRC:

Provide even more children with malnutrition tests and nourishing, therapeutic food like Plumpy'Nut to put them on the path to health.
Deliver even more food and medicine to refugees in hard to reach places while following heightened COVID-19 safety measures.
Work even harder in locust-affected regions to mitigate further damage, and reduce risk of wide-spread famine.
Work even harder as we continue our lifesaving programs wherever the need is greatest.

John, you can help us provide crucial support and protect children and families who are facing an unprecedented hunger crisis, on top of the COVID-19 pandemic. Multiply your impact today and help us prevent the loss of innocent lives worldwide.

Thank you for helping us deliver lifesaving aid to children and families in crisis.
