Help Fight Childhood Malnutrition

One in three children around the world experience malnutrition. An estimated 13 million children suffer from severe acute malnutrition – the most deadly form of malnutrition. Rising poverty, climate change, and health epidemics are making it difficult for children to get the nutrition they need to survive. When children don’t have access to nutritious food, it can damage their growth and deprive them of the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Become a monthly donor and help reach more children with the nutrition they need to thrive.

Thanks to continuous support from our donors, we can always be ready to help prevent, diagnose and treat childhood malnutrition around the world. Monthly donations allow us to provide more children with life-saving therapeutic food so they can grow up healthy and strong. UNICEF provides 75-80% of the world's therapeutic food, which has helped treat millions of children at risk of severe acute malnutrition.
