Ten million people across east Africa are facing severe food shortages caused by a combination of drought, irregular harvests, high food prices and displacement. The crisis has been building for some time, particularly in Kenya and Ethiopia, and is fast escalating across the region.
Christian Aid is responding in Kenya, Ethiopia and Sudan. Appeal funds will enable partners to provide urgent, life-saving assistance.
We urgently need your support to help save lives:
£7.50 could buy enough food to feed a goat for a month – and provide a family with milk to supplement their diet.
£14.50 could provide a plastic drum large enough to hold a day’s water for 70 people affected by the drought.
£61.50 could pay for the labour needed to maintain one borehole, providing water to 1,000 people affected by drought.
£108 could pay for the parts needed to repair a pump at one borehole, restoring water to more than 140 families.
Please, if you can, send a gift TODAY. Because the sooner we receive your donation, the sooner we can turn your compassion into action – and save lives.
Thank you for your generosity in the past. Please give whatever you can today:
