The United States government has donated $5 million to UNICEF to provide lifesaving nutrition support in Nigeria. The funding is aimed at tackling severe malnutrition among vulnerable children and supporting health interventions in communities most affected by food insecurity.
According to officials, the donation will strengthen UNICEF’s ongoing programs in Nigeria, ensuring access to therapeutic food, medical care, and community-based nutrition services. The initiative underscores America’s commitment to humanitarian assistance and its partnership with Nigeria in addressing urgent health and nutrition challenges.
The support comes at a critical time, as rising inflation, insecurity, and displacement have worsened malnutrition rates across the country. UNICEF has welcomed the contribution, noting that it will help save lives and improve the wellbeing of thousands of children.
