Action Against Hunger treats malnourished children and helps communities become self-sufficient, reaching over 26.5 million people in more than 55 countries with a 90% success rate treating malnutrition. £25 can pay for 60 doses of therapeutic milk, and £42 can provide six weeks of therapeutic food for a malnourished child. Beyond treatment, the organisation also works on longer-term water and farming projects to prevent malnutrition recurring.
The concrete cost breakdowns here — £25 for 60 doses of therapeutic milk, £42 for six weeks of therapeutic food — make it easier to picture exactly what a specific donation size buys than most options on this list. Working on longer-term water and farming projects alongside direct treatment also means the goal is preventing malnutrition from recurring, not just treating the same children again later.
