Urgent appeal

Conflict is driving millions to the edge of starvation

Gaza. Ukraine. Syria. Buildings destroyed, people dying, children terrified. But we can turn off the TV. Or stop scrolling on our phone. For children caught up in conflict, like Romaine from DRC (pictured), there is no easy off switch. Desperate families must leave everything behind. It’s not safe to stay. But it can be just as dangerous to go.

Sadly, new and continued conflicts mean more refugee children are in danger right now.

Please help protect them. Your donation today could provide the life-saving food and support they urgently need.

How your money can help

When conflict erupts, no-one is thinking about food. But when children finally arrive –exhausted – in refugee camps, that’s when the slow burn of hunger starts to build.

For many refugees, hunger is no stranger. But relentless hunger is a different beast. Eroding strength and hope. Leaving children weak and desperate. Slowly dying from lack of food.

You could make sure more refugee children get the food and support they desperately need. Your donation today could provide:

Life-saving food for children fleeing conflict

Life-saving supplies, like malaria treatments and nutrition supplements

Child protection workshops for parents, teachers and faith leaders

You can help refugee children get the food and essentials they need to survive.

Conflict is driving millions to the edge of starvation

When conflict erupts –no-one is thinking about food. Fear and panic push down any pangs of hunger during the frantic journey to a safer place. But when exhausted children finally arrive in refugee camps, that’s when the slow burn of hunger starts to build.

Children are most at risk from the hunger crisis

For many refugees, hunger is no stranger. The growling stomach, the lack of energy, the problems focusing. But relentless hunger is a different beast. Eroding strength and hope. Leaving children weak and desperate. Slowly dying from lack of food.

Displaced families are disproportionately affected

Children face other dangers in crowded refugee camps. Families forcibly displaced by conflict seek refuge in overcrowded camps. They have escaped bombs and bullets, but they are often far from safe. Refugee children are at high risk of hunger, illness and exploitation.
