Summary

Persistent droughts, crop failures, and hunger plague millions across Africa. COVID-19 worsened the crisis, halting farming since 2020 and driving food prices up. Deadly droughts hit Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia, exacerbating hunger. The Ukraine war disrupts grain exports, worsening the situation. Our aid organizations offer emergency relief in affected countries. Your donation can make a difference; we stand together in support!

Challenge

There is a dramatic hunger catastrophe in the Horn of Africa. Families don't know how they will survive the next day. The consequences of the corona pandemic and the Ukraine were and are enormous, many fields have not been able to be cultivated; Food prices climbed to dizzying heights. Deadly droughts are occurring in countries such as Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia. Millions of children, women and men are suffering from hunger.

Solution

We distribute drinking water and food to people in drought regions. To improve the water problem, we repair wells and springs and distribute water purification tablets. Mobile clinics and medical units for malnourished children provide basic medical care. Furthermore, we distribute sanitary products and provide basic hygiene education to prevent the spread of water-borne diseases.

Long-Term Impact

It is our long-term goal to prepare inhabitants of areas, where droughts are likely, and equip them with knowledge of how to prevent a severe impact of the drought. For example, we distribute drought resistant seeds or train people how to use water more effectively. Many of our projects are designed to improve self-help capacities to ensure that the target group becomes gradually independent from humanitarian aid.
