Donate today and help support families in crisis zones. Malnutrition isn’t just hunger. It’s a life-threatening condition that can rob children of the opportunity to live full and healthy lives. The International Rescue Committee believes that we can help the over 45 million children suffering from acute malnutrition every year and save the lives of nearly a million children over the next decade.

"My goal is to help as many people as I can." IRC community health worker Nazo goes door-to-door testing children for malnutrition and advising parents. The International Rescue Committee helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and gain control of their future. Donate now to help families survive and rebuild their lives.
