Currently an estimated 2.3 million children are acutely malnourished in Yemen. This year, it is projected that an estimated 850,000 children will suffer from severe acute malnutrition in Ethiopia. And, as you saw in the story of little Parwana this week, 1 million children in Afghanistan are at risk of dying from malnutrition without urgent action in 2022.
These numbers illustrate a stark reality for children— one that’s hindering their ability to grow, learn, play and contribute to their communities. But you can make an impact that will change lives and help children survive. Give today to send children Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), a nutritious peanut-based paste that’s our most effective tool for treating acute malnutrition >> |
It takes just six weeks for RUTF packets to bring a malnourished child back to health. It's a transformation that not only helps them survive, but grow up healthy and strong. UNICEF makes this extraordinary feat possible by leading the world in RUTF distribution.
We know what it takes to help children overcome malnutrition; your gift will increase the number of children UNICEF can reach as we tackle the worsening nutrition crisis. Make your gift today to rush nutritional treatment to children around the world >>
Thank you for your support,
