Most Needed Gifts
During global emergencies like hunger, conflict, climate change and COVID-19, children – especially girls – suffer first and the most as access to food, shelter, social support and health care are threatened or destroyed. The fallout from climate shocks, conflict and COVID-19 destroys lives, crops and livelihoods. Add to that record-breaking food costs and one person is estimated to be dying from hunger every four seconds. What’s worse, 70% of the world’s hungry are girls and women because when food is scarce, they eat last and the least. Help us save lives – timing is critical.
