Sound the alarm

One million children in West Africa lack proper food and could die within months. 

We need to act now. Your support could save lives.

Across West Africa, drought has sucked the land dry, and food is simply too expensive for most families. 

They’ve coped until now by selling their livestock, taking children out of school, and going without food.

But they can’t go on like this. As in any crisis, young children are the most vulnerable. 

We can’t sit by and let a million children die when they can be helped:

  • £5 is enough to help feed a child for a week
  • £30 can treat a child with life-threatening malnutrition for a month
  • £55 can buy 2,500 doses of vitamins and minerals to boost children's emergency rations.

Please donate today and help UNICEF save children's lives.
