Thank you for your generous contribution to the East Africa Hunger Relief Fund. Your donations continue to make a difference, ensuring communities have access to food, water, sustainable livelihoods, and urgent assistance across the region, including in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Sudan.
Since we last updated you, your contribution to the fund supported seven grants to high-impact, vetted partners. We met many of these partners when we visited Ethiopia and Kenya a few months ago. They reminded us that climate change continues to make conditions worse for their communities and drives up food insecurity and displacement.
They shared how important it is to incorporate and prioritize peacebuilding even when confronting active conflict. With nearly 64 million people needing humanitarian and protection assistance across the Horn of Africa, our partners are stepping up to fill gaps, thanks to your support.
With this context in mind, here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported:
Your support of the GlobalGiving East Africa Hunger Relief Fund powers community-led responses to urgent and chronic challenges, and it means our partners get the critical resources they need as they continue to face extreme climates—from droughts to floods —with no immediate end in sight.
Thank you—we cannot say it enough.
With gratitude,
Kyra + Sarah + the GlobalGiving Team

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
