Children like 11-year-old Sarah from Malawi are facing devastating natural disasters more frequently than ever before. She lost her home and school after Cyclone Ana ripped through her village.
Climate related droughts and flooding destroy crops, livestock and livelihoods. Millions of children are going hungry because of these devastating natural disasters. Children and families in low and middle income countries are often at the frontline of this climate crisis and suffering its worst impacts. Please donate now and help us be there so they don’t have to face it alone.
Your $120 gift could give a displaced family of eight enough food to last them for a month.
Why is this happening AND What we are doing?
Around 1 billion children, roughly 1 in 2 children on the planet, live in countries at ‘extreme risk’ from the impacts of climate change and 1 in 2 children in the world are living in poverty.
Our world is at a crossroads. Children are leading the way. World leaders must listen to their calls, tackle the root causes of these crises and put children first. Make no mistake, the climate crisis is a child rights crisis.
With your support we help families and children when an emergency strikes and also help communities to be better prepared. But we will not stop here, it's time to tackle the roots of this crisis. Right now our teams are supporting children and families on the frontline of the climate crisis by ramping up our humanitarian response:
1. Water for communities battling drought
2. Therapeutic food for malnourished children
3. Emergency healthcare for hard-to-reach communities
4. Cash and vouchers for families whose livelihoods have been hit hard
5. Food and water for schools so they can stay open – and children can stay healthy and keep learning.
6. Urgently tackle the roots of climate crisis and not just the effects.
7. Advocate so that world leaders take action against climate crisis and the voices of millions affected children are heard and taken into consideration.
We aim to continue to support children – especially the most marginalised who are disproportionately affected by climate change - to be part of the solution and influence decisions by world and local leaders.
