In 2024, South Sudan faced its worst cholera outbreak in 20 years. In Delmet, Nyaruon—a single mother—fell ill after using floodwater to cook and drink. With support from CERF - The UN's emergency fund and UNICEF South Sudan, she now has access to clean water. Her story is one of many. 👇

A record 58 million people in Eastern Africa faced food insecurity in 2024. World Food Programme delivered emergency relief, built long-term resilience & kept supply chains moving in the toughest conditions. This was only possible thanks to our donors and strong partnerships

The power of collective action! 💪 🥣 With emergency funding from CERF - The UN's emergency fund, WFP Namibia delivered commodity vouchers to families in Kavango East & West — a lifeline during Namibia’s worst drought in decades. More than food, this support has delivered dignity, choice & hope.
