In South Sudan, the desperation caused by lack of food, violence, and insecurity drives children into extreme hopelessness. 100% of them suffer from hunger, 80% have thought about suicide, and 33% of children under 12 have already attempted it at least once. With just €0.50 a day, we provide them with one meal at school and help them continue their education, giving them a chance for a future. In small gestures, like giving €1, great miracles are born.

As hungry people continue to flee the atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, our teams are providing urgent care to those who have managed to reach the town of Tawila. There, we are witnessing extreme levels of acute malnutrition, the most serious example to date of the nutritional crisis that has been ravaging Sudan since the start of the war.

Open Arms opens its arms to women, men, boys, girls and all those fleeing horror, looking for a chance. The humanitarian emergency in the Mediterranean does not stop and our mission is to protect the lives of the most vulnerable at sea, and on land continues. Working in schools on human rights and empathy and denouncing all injustices is our mission as well. From your hand we can prevent more deaths. We need each other. You are needed.
