Harsh winters in Afghanistan mean temperatures can fall as low as -16°C. Children are hungry and their lives are at risk. Many won’t survive the cold months ahead.

Life in Afghanistan has been challenging for years. Ongoing conflict. Severe droughts. Food that’s far too expensive for families with limited or no income. The situation is only becoming worse.

Children in Afghanistan are already living in a world of conflict, hunger and illness. Freezing winter temperatures will push them to the limits of survival.

Give a gift today to provide life-saving treatment for children facing hunger this winter and give them a chance of a future.

Why your gift could make the difference

Through our Therapeutic Feeding Units, we’re providing vital treatment to young children affected by severe acute malnutrition. But demand is increasing and we need your help to be there for every child.

Life-threatening hunger is predictable, preventable and treatable. It costs just £42 – and as little as six weeks – to help a child recover and get back on the road to health.

Your donation could stop hunger taking more lives in Afghanistan by:

• providing courses of nutrient-rich food and therapeutic milk to children with severe malnutrition
• giving urgent treatment to children who are suffering from medical complications on top of their chronic hunger
• running mobile health and nutrition teams, so we can get to families in hard-to-reach parts of the country
• providing support to get families through the freezing temperatures ahead, including fuel, kitchen items for cooking hot food, warm clothing and blankets.

There are over 3 million children in Afghanistan suffering from severe acute malnutrition – the deadliest form of hunger. Your donation will be used wherever the need is greatest.
