Mogadishu – To children and the injustices that they are forced to suffer – such as the inability to have a healthy diet – Amref dedicates the African Child World Day on June 16, as well as a series of events and initiatives that will take place in the weeks to come. Book presentations, photo exhibitions and international festivals. Occasions thought to strongly reiterate the concept that the health of African children is a priority goal for Amref, as is the case of the entire continent. A clear mission emerging from the title of the 60-year-old Amref celebratory campaign: “Africa, You’re Are Not Zero For Us”. The fight against malnutrition – In the territories where Amref works, especially those of the Horn of Africa, there is an invisible humanitarian crisis but continues to reap victims. Water does not fall from the sky, the crops are dry, animals die, and people are malnourished. Millions of people in countries like Somalia, Nigeria, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya are currently starving, due to climate change or the political instability that distinguishes them. A situation where children are the main victims. (9colonne)
