FEED Africa Emergency Fund
The worst drought in 60 years threatens an already struggling people in Somalia and its neighboring countries in the parched Horn of Africa. Man-made problems like rising food prices, a crippled economy, and a lack of central government have only heightened the devastating effects of this natural disaster.
Refugees from hard hit areas are flooding two main refugee camps in Dadaab, Kenya and Dola Ado, Ethiopia. The journey is often very dangerous and many have died of malnutrition along the way.
The FEED Africa Emergency Fund supports organizations like UNICEF and the World Food Programme that are providing critical services on the ground to the more than ten million children and families who urgently need aid. Your donation to the fund will help provide food, water, medicine, and other supplies- and save lives.
The following is an example of the supplies your donation could help purchase:
- Vitamin A capsules
- Oral rehydration therapy tablets
- High-energy protein biscuits
- Measles vaccinations
- Water contains and purification tablets
- Tents
2 million children facing starvation. More than 10 million families at risk. Help us FEED the Horn of Africa.
