Urge Congress to increase global nutrition funding

Ask your representative to join the sign on letter today. [Banner Image Alternative Text]( Dear Friend, Malnutrition is preventable. Yet, nearly half of all preventable deaths among children under five are attributed to malnutrition. UNICEF estimates that almost 45 million children suffer from acute malnutrition. And U.S. funding for global nutrition programs has not been enough to meet the growing need. [Please urge your representative]( to sign on to a bipartisan letter calling for Congress to invest $300 million in the USAID global nutrition account. [Act Now]( In northern Gaza, 1 in 3 children under the age of two are suffering from severe malnutrition. This is the highest level of child malnutrition anywhere in the world. In Yemen, 1.3 million pregnant and breastfeeding women and 2.2 million children under 5 are suffering from extreme malnutrition. Millions of people in multiple other “hunger hotspots” around the world including Sudan and Afghanistan are also grappling with severe malnutrition and in urgent need of assistance. [Please email your representative now]( and urge them to sign the bipartisan “Dear Colleague” letter supporting $300 million to address global nutrition.
