Your gift can help hungry families impacted by the climate crisis
“The wells have dried up. The camels are unable to stand on their feet... We fear another death.” – Sankuus* (pictured)
Sankuus remembers the days when the world around him was lush and green. When he could provide three meals a day for his family. But when Sankuus’s crops failed due to drought, meals dwindled from three each day to two. Then one. When food ran out and his livestock died, he could no longer feed his children.
The climate crisis is causing a catastrophic, human-induced, unnatural disaster and it’s forcing millions of people like Sankuus and his children into extreme hunger.
In East Africa, one person is dying every 48 seconds from hunger.Consecutive poor rainy seasons have caused devastating drought. Without water, food cannot grow, livestock perish and human lives are at risk. All too often, it’s the people least responsible for the climate crisis that are impacted the most.
