          Help babies get a healthy start

          • Nearly half of all deaths of children under five worldwide are linked to malnutrition.

          • We’re helping families facing severe hunger to give their children the best start to life – but we can only do it with your ongoing support.

          • Giving just £5 a month for a year could provide enough life-saving food to treat two weak and malnourished babies.
