11 people could die every minute from hunger by the end of the year
Help families facing hunger
Please help. Climate change is destroying harvests, conflict is forcing people to flee and preventing access to food and other aid, and Covid-19 has put people out of work. These crises have left families in desperate need of help. 11 people could die every minute from hunger by the end of the year if no immediate action is taken. A donation from you could help a family experiencing hunger put food on the table.
