Child Hunger Appeal
A brutal civil war in Tigray, Ethiopia, destroyed homes and shattered millions of lives.
This Christmas, thousands of children in Ethiopia will wake up hungry. Far from home. With no guarantee of safety.
Hunger steals childhood. Your gift right now gives a child food, strength, and hope.
Here are four ways you can nourish a child today:
At Christmas, many families like Dawit’s in Ethiopia struggle simply to put food on the table. If you can consider a gift for our Christmas appeal, you will be giving more than meals, you will be giving the strength and hope a family needs to face the future with dignity.
*Before the conflict, Dawit's mum, Birhan, owned a small beauty salon in order to support her family.
"When the war started, we lost everything in a moment. We left Humera with nothing - no clothes, no money, no food".
Birhan is just like any other mum. She loves her children and has dreams and hopes for the future.
Your generous gift of $120 could help her start a small business again so she can keep providing for her children.
Please act now to save lives.
A few words from eight-year-old Arsema...
"Before the war, life was beautiful we had our home, our farm, our animals. Now everything is gone - our house, our animals, everything."
Separated from her mother and living in a crowded camp with her father, Arsema missed many days of school because she was too weak and frightened.
"I was so hungry I couldn't sleep and I missed my Mum's hugs."
Now thanks to daily meals, and trauma counselling, Arsema is happier, healthier and stronger.
