Every day, children in South Sudan and Burkina Faso are dying from hunger. They are bearing the brunt of ongoing conflict and climate change.

At Christmas, a time of plenty, when we come together with family and friends to celebrate, relax and often overindulge, it feels particularly unjust that so many families will go without food, security and hope.

More than three years of devastating conflict in South Sudan has displaced nearly four million people, disrupted harvests, food prices have soared and the economy has collapsed. Half of the population urgently need food.

In Burkina Faso, a series of droughts and floods have devastated rural farming communities. And at the heart of the destruction are families like yours or mine, who no longer have enough food to survive.

Your support could change a family’s life forever. With your donations, in Burkina Faso we are providing tools so families can grow and sell vegetables, as well as nutritional ingredients and training to provide healthy meals for malnourished children.

In response to the food crisis in South Sudan, we will continue to provide life-saving food vouchers to families like Mary's who don’t have enough to eat. Read Mary's story

The severe food crisis in South Sudan is very different to the dire situation in Burkina Faso, but our beliefs, approach and commitment remain the same. With your help, we will do everything we can to ensure every family has enough to eat – at Christmas, and long into the future.
