Dear Friends,
Even one child going hungry would be too many. Yet around 1 million children stand on the brink of severe acute malnutrition in the Sahel region of Africa. Please donate to help us reach them urgently.
Children in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and the northern regions of Cameroon, Nigeria and Senegal are at risk. These eight countries make up the Sahel region. It's an area that has the unfortunate distinction of being one of the poorest regions in the world where children already face daunting odds of survival. 
A health worker uses a band to measure a boy's arm in a village near Maradi to identify if he is malnourished.
Without immediate humanitarian aid an already desperate situation will only become worse. Inadequate rain, poor harvests and rising food prices have left hundreds of thousands of children vulnerable and weak. This situation is desperate and we need to
act nowto save children's lives.
UNICEF is providing nutrition supplies, as well as clean water and sanitation facilities at feeding centers but we need your support.
What your donation can do :
USD220 could buy 450 sachets of high calorie food; 3 sachets a day can be all it takes to save a malnourished child's life.
USD110 will provide 108 liters of therapeutic milk to children in need.
USD50 can purchase 1,200 high-energy biscuits to provide the nutrition children need.
You could donate any amount.
