The threat of famine is closing in on East Africa.
43 million children under 5 are already malnourished worldwide.
Now, severe weather shocks are causing crops to fail and families to suffer.
As food insecurity skyrockets across the region, our lawmakers have no plan of action to save lives.
Vulnerable kids can't afford to wait. Demand a new Global Food Security Strategy!
Families across East Africa are facing a looming food security crisis. As this devastating threat unfolds in plain sight, we need a plan to respond to kids' most urgent needs and prevent conditions from deteriorating further.
Prevention is everything for a child experiencing hunger. These critical measures can be the difference between malnutrition and health – or even life and death.
The Global Food Security Act requires the State Department to release a Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) every four years. The current strategy was released in 2022, and the Office of International Food and Nutrition has not yet released its successor.
As a Save the Children Action Network advocate, I ask you to urge the State Department to release the updated GFSS as soon as possible. With hunger rising rapidly, our nation must determine when, how and where our nation will respond.
Thank you for fighting to protect the world's most vulnerable children.
