By 2030, 80% of the world's poorest children will live in fragile areas.
These children face instability, poverty and hunger. Many also lack access to safe places to live, learn and play, putting their childhoods and futures at risk. But you can help change that.
In places where conflict, drought and displacement have taken so much, your support helps bring childhood back. With your help, we can reach places others cannot, meet urgent needs and stay to find solutions.
Your timely gift will multiply 7X in value, thanks to contributions from the World Food Programme. You will help children and their families to survive, adapt and thrive in complex, rapidly changing conditions.
Help end fragility in places like Somalia, Sudan and beyond.
