You can create
a monthly miracle
Bring a child back from the brink of starvation
The photo at the top of this page shows a miracle in progress. Pictured is two-year-old Luul, who was tragically diagnosed with acute malnutrition. She was close to suffering long-term disability, disease and even death.
But the packet in her tiny hands, and the monthly UNICEF donors who supplied it, helped save her life. Just one month after her treatment began in Somalia, her health has significantly improved.
The little sachet of life-saving food she is eating is known as RUTF – ready-to-use therapeutic food – and is made of peanuts, oil and sugar, and a premix of vitamins and minerals.
UNICEF is using it to save millions of children suffering from malnutrition around the world each year. And you can help provide it to starving children today.
