Droughts Returns - We Need Your Help

By Mariah Seigel | Touch the Nations Global Giving Liaison

Last year we asked for your help providing for 2 Ethiopian towns durring a prolonged drought. We said let's get them through till September when they can harvest their corn crops and live off that again and you did! We were able to provide 200 pound bags of rice, maize corn, oil, and more! The communities were relieved and the Ethiopian government sent us this message:

We the Administration of the area, the Social Affairs office and the surrounding villages’ administrators will extend our heartfelt gratitude to your donors and to your organization. Your extraordinary support during this very hard drought time saves many people from death, your support was holistic and you served us without any delineation with religion and tribe. We thank you very much indeed from our bottom of the heart. 

Thank you whole heartedly for your support during that horrible hardship!

We are devistated to report that this planting season has not been successful and after the prolonged drought last year there are no cattle, no dogs, and children no longer have the energy to run and play. Many are not surviving.

I am reminded of a mother of twins who came to us and was not registered to pick up food pleading for help. She had nothing to eat at all and told us in tears that her babies were close to death. A 50 kg bag of corn was found and given to her. These people are why we must ask for your help again. 

Please consider giving and giving monthly if you're able. Regular donations can be setup on this project page. We are once again giving out as much food as we can as well as coin for recipients to get a cart ride home as they are too weak to carry the bags of food. 

Thank you wholely for any contribution.
