Join Jennifer Garner and our #92Strong4Kids Campaign

Critical shortages of lifesaving ready-to-use therapeutic food threaten the survival of millions of children who have severe acute malnutrition. A donation of just $92 CAD ($67 USD) can provide a full six-week course of treatment, helping to give a child the chance of a healthy, thriving life.

To mark her birthday this year, Save the Children Ambassador Jennifer Garner launched a challenge, pledging to run one mile a day for 67 days, “no matter what,” to raise awareness and funds to fight global child hunger.

Here in Canada, we’re joining the movement and rising to the challenge for 92 days!

Join us and take action in a way that moves you – walk, run, read, bike, or create your own unique challenge. Share your journey on social media or within your community to raise awareness.

Whether it’s for one day or 92 days, every effort matters. Join the challenge and donate $92 to support children so they’re stronger and thrive. Or, help even more children by raising funds from your friends and family with a 92 challenge by creating your own fundraising page.

“I just couldn’t bear the thought of my kids going to bed hungry, so knowing that 16,000 kids on this planet are at risk of dying of preventable causes right now because of hunger…it’s keeping me up at night. So I had an idea.”
-Jennifer Garner

The Power of Peanuts
Ready-to-use therapeutic food is fortified peanut butter that's specifically designed to treat children with severe acute malnutrition. This high-energy, nutrition-rich food is typically a mixture of peanut butter, milk powder, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals, and can help a child recover from malnutrition within days. Right now record shortages of this essential treatment threaten the survival of children suffering from acute malnutrition.
Just $92 can provide a full six-week course of this treatment, bringing one child from acute malnutrition to the chance of a healthy, thriving life.

In Kenya, one of the countries where Save the Children treats acute malnutrition case, 18-month-old Ereng has just recovered from malnutrition with treatment from Community Health Promoter Charles, who was trained in basic healthcare, by Save the Children. Lomanat and Daniel, Ereng's parents, walked for several kilometres to reach Charles' clinic. The family are pastoralists, but recent droughts have killed their livestock, and the family now has no sustainable income and no reliable food source. They know how important treatment is for children like Ereng, who gained 2.4kgs (5.3 pounds) in two months once she started receiving nutrition treatment using the fortified peanut paste which has about 500 calories in each portion. Lomanat said: "Our child was in very bad shape, and the doctor helped by giving her peanut paste. I am very happy, because she is cured."
