A child receives treatment for malnutrition Sunday at a feeding center in Maradi, Niger.

MARADI, Niger (AP) -- Nasseiba Ali is the face of hunger in Niger. The 20-month-old girl weighs just 12 pounds, and her eyes are clouded at night, one of the symptoms of her chronic malnourishment.

Oxfam is there

Oxfam is already reaching 130,000 people in Niger, and others across the region.

Lives are being saved, but the scale of the catastrophe is enormous. With your help, we can reach more people.
