How to Help: Get Involved! |
A campaign to save 5 million children? Ambitious? Yes. But that’s just the beginning: with enough support we can target the 19 million children threatened with starvation whose prospects are dim without access to treatment.
Here’s how you can support the campaign and help us save lives:

Support the Campaign: Make a Life-Saving Gift! |
These solutions are real and affordable, but we can’t provide them without your help!
- Cost of Treatment: A Gift of $50 provides 45 days of life-saving treatment (using therapeutic RUFs) for a sick child
- Cost of Prevention: A Gift of $50 also supports a child with 6 months of prevention programs (using RUFs)—that’s a mere $0.27 a day!
- A Monthly Gift of $50 ensures the resources to save children all year long.

Malnutrition Figures
In its 2008 Series on Maternal and Child Undernutrition, The Lancet identifies 55 million children with acute malnutrition, including 19 million who suffer from severe acute malnutrition. This leading medical journal estimates that between 3.5 and 5 million children die each year from malnutrition-related causes.
