Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy. Yet across the world's most vulnerable communities, conflict, displacement and climate shocks are making it harder for families to access enough food and even basic healthcare. Young children are most at risk, with malnutrition threatening their health, development and future opportunities. In Somalia alone, 1.7 million children face acute malnutrition, with many families struggling to access the support their children need to thrive.
No child should die from a treatable condition. Through community-based health and nutrition programmes, women like Ruqiya, a Care Group promoter in Somalia, help identify children showing early signs of malnutrition and connect them to treatment. Working alongside local health teams and volunteers, we will reach vulnerable children earlier, providing nutrition support and essential healthcare that prevents illness, improves recovery and gives children the chance to grow up healthy and strong.
