ACUTE MALNUTRITION of CHILDREN in SOMALIA

Save The Children is rated a Top Charity. You can view this at www.charitynavigator.org.

It's hard to have so much abundance in America when this is happening in the Horn of Africa.

Thanks to giving people like you, our work for children in Somalia is making a difference.

Save the Children has worked in Somalia since 1951. As the country faces one of its worst droughts in decades, alarming numbers of children — an estimated 1.5 million— could be facing severe acute malnutrition by October.

Save the Children is already working to help affected communities in Somalia to cope with the immediate humanitarian effects of drought. We are providing emergency water supplies, treating children who are malnourished, supporting education systems so that children do not miss vital learning while displaced by drought, running health facilities, and providing cash and livelihood support to the most vulnerable.

As clean water becomes harder to find, cholera has spread among Somalia’s children and families. To control the spread of the disease, we’ve established a cholera task force and are delivering ready-to-eat therapeutic food to hard-hit areas. Save the Children is also training nurses and doctors to expand their treatment services in order to treat and save as many children as possible.
