You could help save lives today. {NAME}, I want to make sure you read Nyaruan's story, which we shared last week. Nyaruan is one of many South Sudanese people facing the impacts of historic, overlapping drought and floods caused by the climate crisis. She and her son now depend on food assistance from the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to survive. Around the world, millions of families could starve without food from the U.N. World Food Programme. This is why your first gift is so important. [Will you make 2X the impact for families like Nyaruan's recovering from unprecedented climate extremes with your first gift today?]( We have the power to make a difference for people living through these crises, but only with you by our side. At this critical time, any gift you give could help save lives. Thank you, Lexi Elgin

[DONATE]( In the time it will take you to read this email, 12 children will die from hunger-related causes. [Please help us now.]( Read time: 2 minutes When I read Nyaruan Chop's story, I immediately thought to reach out to you, {NAME}. As a part of the World Food Program USA community, I know how important ending global hunger is to you. Nyaruan, a resilient 19-year-old mother, grapples with the impacts of the devastating climate crisis firsthand. Recent flooding from extreme weather in South Sudan destroyed her corn farm, a vital source of food and income for her and her one-year-old son, Chuong. Without a stable source of food or income, Nyaruan turned to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) for help. Nyaruan and Chuong aren't alone. Almost 65% of people living in South Sudan are facing extreme hunger. Children are expected to face extreme levels of malnutrition in 2024 as the climate crisis tightens its grip on the country. If we don't help communities adjust to the new reality of the climate crisis, hunger and malnutrition will increase. [There's only a limited time for your first gift to be matched which can send DOUBLE the urgently needed food to a family facing extreme hunger in places like South Sudan.]( You can make a difference today. [A Mom and her son stand in flooded waters in South Sudan.](
Nyaruan Chop and her one-year-old son Chuong at their corn farm destroyed by floods. An unprecedented, multi-year flooding event is sweeping through South Sudan and exacerbating the country's hunger crisis. The dire circumstances in South Sudan are tragically part of a larger global hunger crisis. Right now, we are facing record-breaking levels of hunger amidst the biggest funding shortfall in the U.N. World Food Programme's 60-year history. Your support is needed now more than ever. Because this moment is so critical, a group of generous donors has stepped forward with a matching gift to double your impact as we strive to provide 10 million lifesaving meals by year end. [Every dollar you give secures two more meals for communities facing unrelenting crises]( in places like South Sudan, Afghanistan and Madagascar. For Nyaruan, Chuong and countless others, your action today is vital. Sincerely, Robin Benatti
