    Situation

    Over 2 million children under the age of five are at risk of death and disease due to a combination of drought, conflict and escalating food prices in East Africa. The worst affected areas are in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya, where over 10 million people need humanitarian assistance. As the world’s leading charity for children, UNICEF has been acting early to mitigate the impact of the drought, but as the crisis worsens we urgently need more funds to reach more children.

    Solution

    Right now, UNICEF is scaling up life-saving efforts in therapeutic feeding, in providing access to safe water and sanitation as well as in preventing the spread of killer diseases including measles through vaccination campaigns. UNICEF is the main provider of ready to use therapeutic food in all three countries, but we desperately need more funds in order to help us reach every child.
