Conflict and climate change have left nearly 3.7 million people in Chad without reliable access to food. Learn from Chantal, head of the International Rescue Committee’s nutrition program in Mangalmé, Chad, about our work to save children from acute malnutrition.

Maryanrun is a community health worker and refugee who is helping the International Rescue Committee save children's lives in Mogadishu, Somalia. She visits families who are also displaced and teaches them the signs of malnutrition so that their children can receive medical attention before it is too late. "With our help, they recover," she says.

On 18th May 2022, the IRC hosted a virtual event to mark the launch of the UK Aid Match appeal, which will fund a new malnutrition programme in Nigeria.
