In Nigeria, more than 6 million children under five were already predicted to suffer from malnutrition across the Sahel this year. Now with flooding damaging crops and other food sources, hunger levels in Nigeria are likely to worsen. Beyond these challenges, a recent cholera outbreak is further imperiling the lives of Nigeria’s children. The situation is growing worse by the day – if we don’t act now, many more children risk losing their lives.

Save the Children has been working in Nigeria since 2001 to ensure all children survive, learn and are protected. In response to the ongoing hunger crisis, we’re providing monthly cash transfers to help families buy food and meet their other basic needs. We’re also working around the clock to respond to the growing needs of children with acute malnutrition. We’re responding to the cholera outbreak by deploying the Emergency Health Unit to train up health workers.

Save the Children is a global leader working in the U.S. and around the world to help children and their communities prevent, prepare for and recover from climate-induced disasters.
