Nourished for Life

  • Appeal

Hunger and malnutrition are robbing children of the fullness of life they were made for.
Help nurture healthy children and strong communities for them to grow up in.

Nutritional food alone is not enough to end hunger and break the cycle of poverty.

But transformation is happening in some of the hardest places around the world – places where rates of malnutrition and food insecurity are at their most extreme.

Through initiatives that tackle the problem from multiple angles – access to good food, nutrition education and sustainable agriculture – Tearfund’s partners are helping children and their communities to be nourished for life.

Your gift to Tearfund's Nourished for Life Appeal can help nurture healthier children, and stronger communities for them to grow up in:
