Globally, 1 in 3 children are not growing how they should due to malnutrition, an entirely preventable condition. This year alone, nearly 3.2 million children under 5 are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition in Afghanistan. In Yemen, that number is 2.3 million. 1.4 million in South Sudan. The statistics paint a bleak picture but we can treat malnutrition today and prevent children from becoming malnourished in the first place
UNICEF is the organization best equipped to meet the needs of children—as we’ve been doing for the past 75 years. While UNICEF is doing everything it can to get them the support they deserve, the pandemic and rising threats to their lives stand in the way. Your gift can make a difference to ensure that children receive the nutrition treatment they need to survive.
