Frequent and persistent droughts threaten the lives of millions of children. In the Horn of Africa alone, that is, in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya, 17.4 million people are currently dependent on help following a severe drought.

Our teams work around the clock in all the affected countries, providing help for the most deprived children and their families. We distribute clean water and foodstuffs, treat malnourished children at our mobile health clinics with specially formulated foods. Hunger is not the only reason that children suffer. That is why we also work to ensure that children are protected from violence and exploitation and that every child has access to education.

We urgently need to expand our work!
Give children a chance for a better future. Every donation counts and is used where help is most urgently needed.

How your donation can help:

With 50 Swiss francs

we could supply four malnourished children with therapeutic nutrition for one week.

With 100 Swiss francs

You could ensure that eight children receive sufficient clean water at school for a month.

With 200 Swiss francs

you could provide a nutritious lunch for ten students and for one month.
