Fight poverty in East Africa: For just 50p a day, you could help a child and their friends, family and neighbours to get safe, clean water, healthcare, nourishing food and a quality education.

The facts about the food crisis: Millions of children are going hungry in the East Africa food crisis. This is not because of a single bad harvest, but a result of years of poverty and neglect. Through child sponsorship, you can help to fund the kind of long-term projects that can lift a whole community out of poverty, and reduce the risk of this type of emergency.

Where do we need child sponsorship?We have children waiting for sponsorship in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya which is one of the worst hit areas.

What happens next? As soon as possible, we'll introduce you to a child in East Africa with a photograph and some information about their life and the problems they face. Once you are connected with a child, your donations will start to transform the life of your sponsored child and their community - helping them for the long-term.
