Your prayerful help is urgently needed
John Kinyoki, Chief Program Manager from one of our local Christian Partners in The Horn of Africa writes:
‘The drought is very severe, and farmers are very much in dire need of food. There is no food for the livestock because of lack of vegetation. Livestock have died, and the ones that survive are very weak, so cannot fetch anything in the market. We don’t know what’s happening in the coming months.’
The situation is dire and getting worse with one in five households in The Horn of Africa about to run out of food. Children and breastfeeding mothers are especially susceptible to starvation, with lack of nourishing food contributing to nearly half of all preventable deaths among children under five. Experts are warning that a timely targeted response is the only hope we have of reversing the effects of malnutrition.
