The Horn of Africa includes Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, and Djibouti.
Children are facing one of the worst climate-induced emergencies of the past 40 years.
More than 8.5 million people, including 4.2 million children, face dire water shortages.
Across Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia more than 1.8 million children require treatment for life-threatening malnutrition.
Families are leaving their homes in search of water, food, and pasture
putting children at high risk of disease, malnutrition, and violence

amidst already significant outbreaks of cholera, measles and diarrhea.
Climate change is often felt first through water.
Rising temperatures can contaminate water millions rely on.
When rains return to drought-stricken areas, the soil cannot absorb the water,
leading to floods and further water contamination.
Climate action means water action.
For every child, safe water.
