Children in East Africa are starving as the crisis continues. In some areas, a child is dying every 6 minutes. We are on the ground in Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia getting life-saving aid to children facing starvation. But we urgently need your support to reach more children and save more lives. Please help us.

Crisis continues

The worst drought in decades has wiped out livestock, crops and income in large parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia and left over 12 million people in the grip of a devastating food crisis.
Save the Children is on the ground saving lives.
But millions of children need help and we urgently need more funds to reach them. We welcome all types of donations including Zakat.
