Send Emergency Meals to Those Facing Famine
Right now, vulnerable children, mothers, fathers, refugees and more are facing the worst hunger crisis of this decade. Your urgent gift can deliver meals today — and hope for tomorrow.
Hunger is always devastating — but when it crosses a defined threshold, it becomes famine. According to the global food-security authority, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), famine is officially declared when all three of these conditions are met:
- At least 20% of households face an extreme lack of food.
- At least 30% of children under five suffer acute malnutrition.
- The daily death rate from starvation or malnutrition reaches at least 2 people per 10,000 (or 4 children per 10,000) per day.
Unto has projects in place to deliver emergency meals in regions newly designated or at risk of famine. Your gift today will:
- Mobilize response teams to deliver meals to families whose food systems have collapsed
- Open doors for local staff and partners to share HOPE!
Declarations of famine are extremely rare, but it has now happened twice in 2025. This means we are witnessing a humanitarian crisis of historic proportions — and one that demands swift, large-scale action.
