Nearly 800 million people in Africa are experiencing hunger. African countries have the highest rates of malnutrition in the world. Africa accounts for 42% of the world's total disabled population, with many being children.

The current, devastating food crisis is forcing families who depend on livestock for their livelihoods to continue migrating in search of food and water. The situation is growing worse by the day, and many children risk losing their lives. In addition, children and adults with disabilities are especially vulnerable, facing even greater obstacles to access the aid and support they desperately need.
