Our team has started distributing food to the 127 children suffering from malnutrition across 41 villages that we are working with on our food insecurity response. With 40% more children suffering from malnutrition now than in December, this work is more important than ever

The letter to the PM is now signed by 50 senior business leaders to call on @BorisJohnson to close the disability employment gap. Disabled people have waited long enough. Now is the time for action. This announcement appeared in yesterday's @thetimes.

Some fantastic news here! 😊
Some good news, as #Madagascar @SE_Rajoelina finally expresses willingness to provide access to vaccines for those who will want them. Step in the right direction! Thinking of all the health experts and staff who must be very relieved tonight! 🎉
