MARIAME, THE GIRL WHO WAS SAVED
Little Mariame, only 19 months old, suffered from severe acute malnutrition. "About 3 months after giving birth, Mariame no longer wanted me to breastfeed her, she wouldn't even take her bottles. She no longer had an appetite," explains her mother, Medina.
After visiting several doctors, Medina took Mariame to the paediatric hospital in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic, where an Action Against Hunger team revealed the diagnosis: Mariame was suffering from severe acute malnutrition due to malaria. She needed special treatment with therapeutic milk. "The doctors explained to us that all the necessary medicines are contained in the milk," says Medina.
After six weeks of treatment with this milk and nutritional paste, Mariame was saved. "Now she is well, healthy. She eats well, sleeps well, plays, has tantrums like any other child of her age. I'm not worried anymore," Medina rejoices. "I thank the whole team from the bottom of my heart, because thanks to them my daughter is now healthy and eating."
Like Mariame, many other children suffer from malnutrition. Globally, one child under the age of five dies of hunger every 11 seconds. We can act to save them. Mariame is the perfect example.

THAT SUPPORT US
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
At Action Against Hunger, we are committed to maintaining constant communication with individuals and institutions that make specific contributions to specific projects. We will provide detailed information about the supported project or activity, as well as its results.
Your donations will go to projects dedicated to combating the causes and effects of hunger. They will help save the lives of undernourished children by ensuring that families have access to safe water, food, training and basic health care. Our efforts in Spain actively target the unemployment and socio-professional inclusion of people that face barriers when entering the job market.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have mobilized in over 50 countries to contain, prevent and mitigate its consequences. We strive to ensure the flexibility of funds and the implementation of social protection measures to counteract the socio-economic impact on the most vulnerable. In Spain, we adapted our employment and entrepreneurship programmes from the first days of the state of alarm, reinforcing psychosocial attention and providing access to technological support to avoid job exclusion, as well as distributing financial aid cards to vulnerable families.
We appreciate your donations to our NGO, which have allowed us to bring aid to more than 17 million people.
The distribution of the funds we receive follows our axes of action: Food security and livelihoods (38% of the funds), water, hygiene and sanitation (30% of the funds), nutrition (17% of the funds), social inclusion (7% of the funds), and disaster risk reduction (4%).
Yes, all your donations to Action Against Hunger are tax-deductible. In addition, from now on, donations will deduct more. By making a donation, you can deduct 80% on the first €250, and above €250, you can deduct 35%.
If you collaborate with Action Against Hunger, maintaining or increasing your contribution for 3 years in a row, 35% becomes 40%. For donations in the name of a company, the tax deductible is 35%.
Transparency is one of our fundamental principles in Action Against Hunger. Not only do we publish our accounts, but we implement mechanisms to ensure transparency in the destination of funds. In 2019, we underwent 92 audits and requirements, carried out by companies such as Deloitte and Ernst & Young, both at headquarters and in the countries where we operate.
In addition to audits that review the accounts of funds, Action Against Hunger undergoes organizational audits at headquarters and project audits in the countries of intervention, both carried out by independent agencies. We are one of the few organizations that has a permanent internal auditor who reports directly to the Board of Trustees of the Foundation.
Out of every €10 we receive, €9 goes directly to beneficiaries in the field, and €1 goes to administration and logistics expenses.
Yes, with your regular help we can continue to bring vital aid (water, sanitation, treatment against undernutrition and psychosocial support) both to families in Syria and to refugees in neighbouring countries.
