This winter, droughts and rising food prices in West Africa have put more than a million children at risk of starvation.

Right now, the countries of West Africa have among the highest mortality rates in the world. One in five children die before the age of five.

To prevent a wide-scale emergency, UNICEF and its partners are beginning to send life-sustaining supplies to the region before it is too late.

Just £5 will help UNICEF feed a malnourished child for a week. Please donate to our emergency work for children today.
