Give vital nutrition support to children in CAR
Your support can deliver vital nutrition to prevent malnutrition in children in CAR
Central African Republic (CAR) is facing a severe hunger crisis, driven by displacement and climate change.
This multi-faceted crisis is leading to dangerous levels of hunger among children and babies, and cuts to international aid are putting more lives at risk. But your donation can help.
Concern's staff are on the ground in CAR preventing malnutrition amongst children who are at risk, and implementing sustainable programmes in communities to build resilience against future shocks. Supporters like you are giving families a chance to recover, survive and rebuild - families like Dominique's*.
Dominique and Sylvie

Our team met Dominique and her two-year-old granddaughter Sylvie* at a health centre in Mboto. Sylvie’s mother died suddenly, leaving her and her two siblings in the care of their grandmother Dominique.
Still grieving the loss of her own daughter, Dominique and her husband work hard to provide for the family, but, with the cost of food so high, and income so low, it’s an almost impossible task to meet household needs.
Dominique grew concerned about her three grandchildren’s health and brought them to be assessed. As a result, Sylvie and her two siblings received the nutritional support they so desperately needed in order to prevent malnutrition.

Nutritional support for children in CAR
Thankfully there is something that can help prevent children from becoming malnourished, something very simple: It’s porridge, made from flour that has been enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, and can be truly life-changing for children at risk of malnutrition.
Sometimes referred to as Four Star porridge, it includes all four key food groups; carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and fats, and comes in dried form to be mixed with water.
This porridge has everything a child needs to grow and thrive. Your donation can help us provide more children with life-changing nutritional support.
