For children facing malnutrition, recovery can begin with something as simple and essential as a nutritious meal. But for families living through displacement and poverty, getting that meal consistently is far from guaranteed.

In Cox’s Bazar, Concern’s nutrition teams help children like 15-month-old Kassim get the specialized food and care they need to regain their strength. It’s one step toward a healthier future, but keeping that progress going takes sustained support for families facing hunger every day.

Your support can help children facing hunger get the nutrition and care they need to recover — and help families hold onto that hard-won progress.

Would you take in your niece if you were already struggling to feed your own family?

For Aziza, there was no question.

War forced her family to flee Sudan and seek safety in a refugee camp in eastern Chad, where food and other essential resources are limited. Then, when her sister passed away, Aziza took in her young niece and began raising her alongside her own daughter.

But when everything is scarce, every meal matters.

With more mouths to feed and resources already stretched thin, keeping her family nourished became even harder. Because hunger isn’t a single moment of crisis. It becomes part of every decision a family makes.

When families are forced to start over and children are fighting to survive, Concern stays.

We stay where hunger hits hardest.

For children facing malnutrition, getting treatment is a step toward recovery. But for families living through conflict, economic hardship and rising food costs — keeping that progress can be just as difficult.

Haj's baby, Basam, recovered from malnutrition after receiving treatment at a Concern-supported health clinic in Yemen. But for families like Haj's, recovery doesn't mean the struggle is over. When food remains unaffordable and assistance is reduced, a child who has recovered can quickly become malnourished again.

Every child who recovers from malnutrition represents hard-won progress. But in fragile communities, that progress can disappear quickly.

Concern stays where hunger hits hardest. We can stay because of you.

What does hunger really look like when there is no room for another setback?

For families living in extreme poverty, hunger can mean children going a full day without food, parents making impossible choices, and hard-won progress disappearing after a single failed harvest, conflict, displacement, or rising food costs.

Our new report, Hunger in Focus, takes a closer look at what hunger looks like for the families Concern Worldwide reaches, and why progress can be so difficult to protect in the world’s most fragile communities.

From lifesaving treatment for malnourished children to food distributions, seeds, and agricultural training, small steps can make a lasting difference. But when crisis strikes, those gains can disappear overnight.

In these moments, Concern stays.

Read our new report to learn more about the realities of hunger, the progress families are fighting to protect, and why staying matters.

We stay where hunger hits hardest.

With support from the Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Concern Worldwide is delivering multi-purpose cash assistance to vulnerable households in Lagawa locality, helping families meet their most urgent needs with dignity and flexibility.

In Sudan's West Kordofan State, years of conflict and displacement have left many families struggling to access food, healthcare, and other essential services. Multi-purpose cash assistance gives households the flexibility to prioritize what they need most, whether that's food, medicine, shelter, or other essentials.

These photos capture one of the first cash distributions in Lagawa, where families are beginning to receive life-saving assistance. As the response continues, we'll keep sharing updates from the communities at the heart of this work.

A family cannot survive on hope alone.

Dibo moved with her family from Dukana to Balessa in Marsabit County, Kenya and eventually to Yaa Algana five years ago, searching for pasture. At the time, there was plenty of grass for their livestock. Today, much of that pasture is gone.

Before the drought, Dibo’s family had six camels, 20 goats, and three cows. Now, they have two goats and one camel. The cows were lost to the drought.

“When I had livestock I could use the milk and drink it, and my children loved it. It could be slaughtered and eaten for a long time and it could be sold and the money would also last a long time from just selling one cow,” Dibo says. “But now, I cannot really say I have much hope for the future, because it is not well.”

For Dibo and her four children, accessing healthcare can also be difficult. The nearest hospital is a long walk away, making community health outreach an important lifeline.

When her youngest child became sick with a high fever and cough, Dibo first sought help from a community health promoter. A few days later, when a Concern Worldwide outreach team arrived, she brought all four children to be checked. All four were found to be underweight, and her youngest received a measles vaccination.

The family also received nutrition support, milk, and water treatment supplies. After two weeks, Dibo saw a difference in her children.

“They were strong, they were running and playing football more and they even ate better.”

The water treatment supplies have also become part of the family’s daily routine. Dibo uses a white pail to treat their water before transferring it to a jerrycan for drinking. Her children know the water is not ready to drink until the treatment process is complete.

This work is supported by the Kenya Humanitarian Fund, helping bring essential health and nutrition services to communities facing the impacts of drought and food insecurity.

As this project comes to a close, Dibo and families like hers continue to face the effects of repeated drought and limited access to food, water, livelihoods, and healthcare.

Concern Worldwide’s Hanaano Program has spent years working directly with communities to prevent malnutrition in the Mandera Triangle, a region spanning Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia where malnutrition regularly exceeds emergency thresholds. Now, we’ve brought what we’ve learned to the table.

This August, Concern Worldwide joined UNICEF, Irish Aid, and WHO in Addis Ababa for the Regional Review and Learning Meeting, sharing lessons from the program on multisectoral prevention, community-led action, cross-border collaboration with IGAD, and adaptive programming in fragile and environmentally affected settings — evidence drawn directly from the communities we work alongside.

By sharing these lessons and working alongside partners, we help bring community perspectives into global conversations and present a unified call for action on hunger, poverty, and humanitarian crises.

In this piece, our Global Director of Strategy, Advocacy and Learning, Réiseal Ní Chéilleachair, reflects on what it takes to influence the decisions that shape the lives of people experiencing extreme poverty and humanitarian crises.

From working alongside advocacy coalitions and NGO partners to amplifying the voices of communities affected by conflict, hunger and environmental shocks, RĂ©iseal makes the case for sustained, evidence-based advocacy – and for everyone to recognize that their voice can contribute to change.
