The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileA perfect storm - caused by the war in Ukraine, climate change and the failure of the world to respond quickly is causing a wave of Severe Acute Malnutrition AKA S.A.M to spread across East Africa.
Every 48 seconds, someone in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are dying from hunger.
Is there a cure to hunger? Yeah and it costs peanuts. £30 can pay for a childs 6 week course of high-nutrient peanut paste which will stop S.A.M in its tracks and give children their future back.
We've been working across East Africa for many years. We run longer-term programmes as well as short-term disaster response, and work together with local partners, governments and communities.
THE EMERGENCY FUND IS TRULY THE BEST AND MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO HELP CHILDREN IN CRISIS.
This special reserve of money allows us to coordinate a humanitarian response so that in the event of an emergency - like the hunger crisis in East Africa - we're able to act quickly and save countless lives.
The Fund helped us respond to crises in 54 countries last year, including the global hunger crisis helping 7 million adults and 10 million children.
Any support you can give will make a real difference to children.
