Funds from the British government via Save the Children helped Isobel and her partners to build an oven and learn how to bake bread. Baking provides the group with an alternative source of income when harvests fail.
In just two hours today, Isobel’s association has already sold half of its bread. “My dream is that we reach a point where we can overcome all the challenges that we’ve had with the drought and the floods so we don’t have to worry about whether we are going to have enough food or not” says Isobel.
In the Zambezi valley of Mozambique, climate change has affected hundreds of thousands people, who largely depend on rain-fed subsistence agriculture to make a living. With funding from UKaid from the Department for International Development, Save the Children works with farming communities affected by recurring floods and drought to enhance their resilience to the impact of climate change.

Colombia is home to 6.4 million internally displaced persons (IDP), the world’s second largest IDP population (after Syria). Forced displacement profoundly disrupts children's lives. It is sometimes linked to forced recruitment by armed groups, depriving hundreds of children of a normal life and of schooling. The European Commission and its humanitarian partners provide children with health care, water and sanitation, but also focus on education as key to child protection during emergencies.

Most people arriving at Dolo Ado have little or nothing in the way of possessions or food. Children especially are at risk - almost 50% are acutely malnourished. But more aid is starting to get through. A convoy of trucks carrying aid arrived at the camp this week.

The photo was captured in Kadugli, South Kordofan, Sudan during NFI distribution by UNHCR in coordination with Save the Children. The photo portrays 21 years old mother, Umul Hussain Musa Taia, holding her infant child while sitting over NFI kits which she received as part of UNHCR assistance to internally displaced population. The South Kordofan State in Sudan has been severely affected by civil war and sporadic tribal clashes which has displaced thousands of people from their homes.

Save the Children have also started a blanket supplementary feeding programme for all under-5-year-old children arriving at Dolo Ado, like this child pictured there recently.
Announcing that aid is reaching Dolo Ado this week, International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell said today:
“British aid is getting through to thousands of families as we speak and that help will save lives.
“The swift action that Britain has taken, and the unparalleled generosity of the general public through the DEC appeal has ensured we are getting supplies to people in the hardest to reach places.
“But too many countries have failed to wake-up to the scale of the situation and the response that is needed. It is time for people to step up their response or risk failing thousands of men, women and children who are in need of our help.”

Over 2,000 people a day were arriving at the Dolo Ado camp every day during late June/early July - many of them having walked for 15 days or more to get there.
Although the numbers arriving over the last few weeks have reduced to around 200-300 per day, over 75,000 people have arrived there since the start of 2011, swelling the numbers of people there to over 117,000.

KINSHASA, Avril 12 -- L’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID) annonce le lancement d’un programme à fort impact pour sauver le plus grand nombre de vies des femmes et des enfants qui meurent de causes évitables en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC). Il s’agit du Programme de l’USAID pour la survie de la mère et de l’enfant (PSME), et en Anglais, Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP).
Ce programme est un accord de coopération de cinq années à l’échelle mondiale, visant à mettre en œuvre et à soutenir des interventions sanitaires à fort impact. L’accord cible 24 pays hautement prioritaires, y compris la RDC. L’objectif ultime est de mettre fin à la mortalité maternelle et infantile due à des causes évitables en l’espace d’une génération. Le Programme va s’assurer que l’ensemble des femmes, nouveau-nés et enfants les plus démunis ont un accès équitable à des soins de santé de qualité.
En réalité l’objet de ce programme n’est pas nouveau. Il s’agit d’un renforcement et d’une intensification des activités que l’USAID met en œuvre en RDC depuis plusieurs années, comme contribution à la demande mondiale faite aux 24 pays susmentionnés pour accélérer la réduction de la mortalité chez les enfants et les femmes. En effet, le gros des investissements du gouvernement Américain en RDC va dans le secteur de la santé. En 2015, cet investissement s’est élevé à plus de $350 millions de dollars dans le secteur du développement et de l’humanitaire. Chaque année, une enveloppe de près de $150 millions de dollars est allouée au renforcement des services de santé.
Parmi les résultats déjà obtenus:
- 150.000 vies sauvées parmi les enfants dans les zones de santé appuyées par l’USAID au cours des trois dernières années, ce qui représente 25 pourcent de la cible établie par le pays ;
- 223.500 grossesses non désirées ont été évitées dans les zones de santé appuyées par l’USAID au cours des cinq dernières années.
Despite the hardships of life in the Dadaab camps, children who are well enough still love to play and climb trees. But the drought situation in Dadaab and across the Horn of Africa region is becoming increasingly desperate for millions of people.
The UK today announced a new package of support for over a million of the people most severely affected by the drought in the region.
This UK aid package will provide assistance to:
- 500,000 people in Somalia, including treatment for nearly 70,000 acutely malnourished children
- Over 130,000 people in Dadaab refugee camps in Kenya, including access to clean drinking water and health care for one third of refugees
- Over 100,000 people in Dolo Ado refugee camps in Ethiopia including access to shelter, clean drinking water and treatment for starving children
- 300,000 Kenyans, including special rations to prevent malnutrition in children under the age of five and breastfeeding mothers

What does the work of a local community worker entail? One of the major challenges of the Ebola response was to combat misinformation about Ebola and to have the community’s cooperation in the measures taken to keep the disease from spreading.
David, a community worker from Mandima, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, helped in monitoring contacts (individuals who had come into contact with Ebola) for symptoms and raised awareness about the virus.

This is what Rhys wants to be when he grows up.
He wants to be an RSPB warden like his Auntie Karen. It's not surprising, she is the cool Auntie who has a chainsaw and drives diggers, dump trucks and road rollers. She can ride on grass in her 4x4. I don't think the bird care aspect comes much into Rhys's view of the job.
Rhys is lucky. He's been vaccinated which means he has a very good chance of growing up and looking after the environment. But one in five children - the poorest and the most vulnerable - do not receive any vaccinations against killer disease.
Save The Children are running a campaign called No Child Born To Die. Sign the petition to push world leaders to fund vaccination for all children. Do it now. We have 25 days before the World Economic Forum meets.

The UK is working with the UN, the World Health Organisation and the wider international community to combat Ebola at the source in the African countries affected.
Britain is playing a leading role, particularly in Sierra Leone where it can best help to fight the crisis. The UK has committed a £100 million package of support to help contain, control, treat and ultimately prevent Ebola.

These areas are meant to support children, helping them to express and deal with emotions related to the often traumatic migration experience.
Here, Juli can share her thoughts with other children who have similar experiences, like her friend Alan*, who hails from the Mexican region of Chiapas and is also seeking to reach the United States with his family.

Spiralling Syrian refugee numbers could overload Lebanon’s stretched infrastructure and heighten regional tensions, former International Development Secretary Justine Greening warned today.
Ms Greening was speaking during a visit to Lebanon, where she saw first-hand the impact of ongoing violence in Syria both on refugees and host communities. She announced that the UK will allocate a further £50 million to help both Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Lebanese people affected by the crisis.
The new support from the UK will provide immediate, life-saving help including food and shelter to vulnerable Syrian refugees. Other initiatives could include cash for work programmes for both refugees and vulnerable Lebanese and livelihood protection programmes with vaccinations and feed for Lebanese livestock owners.
