Right now, children across East Africa are facing a desperate crisis caused by prolonged drought, soaring food prices and ongoing conflict in Somalia. Tens of thousands of people have already died.
The worst affected countries are Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. 6.7 million children are in need of urgent help. About 320,000 under the age of five have severe acute malnutrition and need immediate life-saving assistance.
In situations like this women and children are the most vulnerable. We have already treated thousands of malnourished children, vaccinated over a million children against measles, and ensured that more than two million people have access to clean water. In 2011, UNICEF raised over £6 million for East Africa. That's amazing. But we can’t stop there.
Just £5 will help UNICEF feed a child for a week. With the right treatment, a child can recover in six weeks.
Donate now and save children's lives.
