The #DRC was already one of the most dangerous places to be a child. Now, #Ebola is threatening children across the country.

Without urgent support, more kids will suffer severe illness, trauma, exploitation and even death.

Urge Congress to help today! https://t.co/hJUjJY2VNU

Programs like WIC and Food for Peace help their families put nutritious meals on the table across the globe.

But current House budget proposals would cut their funding and threaten children's lifelines.

Tell Congress to protect these programs! https://t.co/E4dRm687Qq

Every year, 12 million girls lose their childhoods to marriage – girls that may never fulfill their hopes and dreams.

Child marriage shouldn’t exist in 2026! 🚫

Tell Congress: Childhood is NO time for marriage. 👇 https://t.co/4MkMKOtUUZ
