To the governments of the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, and all world leaders:

We are citizens from across the world, deeply worried about the growing health crisis, hunger and poverty across Africa and the world, affecting millions of children. Amidst the disastrous U.S. aid freeze, we urgently call on you to save lives, by: 

✅ Filling the aid gap
✅ Spending 0.7% of your Gross National Income on aid -- deliver on your promise! 
✅ Developing a realistic plan to reverse budget cuts in development assistance 

People’s lives depend on your leadership, now more than ever. The world is watching!

Fill the aid gap -- save lives now!
As children in Somalia, Sierra Leone, and across Africa are growing hungrier by the hour, ships loaded with trillions in gold, diamonds, and oil continue to leave the continent for Western markets.

Africa was never poor – it’s been drained for decades. Their oil powers the world, and their minerals power our technologies, yet the continent receives barely anything in return. Aid is framed as generosity. And with Trump cutting all U.S. aid, even the bare minimum that is desperately needed for people to survive, is gone.

In just weeks, world leaders will meet to decide their aid budgets, and it is our chance to demand that they fill the aid gap and save lives. Add your name now, and we’ll deliver our voices directly to the decision makers.
