Severe drought in Horn of Africa

We received this email from World Vision, please consider helping the people in the Horn of Africa.


Dear Sponsor,

Unrelenting drought in the Horn of Africa is threatening the lives of more than 7 million people in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia. Lack of food and clean water, as well as an increase in disease, have left young children especially vulnerable. Already, families are traveling long distances in search of food and watching helplessly as their livestock waste away.

Your help is needed today to bring emergency food, clean water, and other essential care to children and families in the Horn of Africa. Thanks to government grants, your gift will multiply 6x in impact.

Around the world, food prices surged to an all-time high in January. This, combined with devastating drought, has led to a crisis situation in Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia. World Vision is on the ground in these countries, supplying life-saving food rations, improving access to clean water, supporting livestock programs, and helping build the resilience of affected communities.

Recent reports indicate that one in three children is malnourished in some areas of this region, and food prices have already risen nearly 300 percent. Please provide a gift that multiplies 6x in impact to feed and care for them today. Go to: www.worldvision.org to donate.

Please support World Vision's efforts to provide food, clean water, and other essential care in the Horn of Africa. Your gift multiplies 6x in impact.


If your sponsored child has been directly affected, it is our policy to notify you as soon as possible as we will continue to monitor the situation. Please pray for the children and families in the Horn of Africa.

In Him,
Rich Stearns
President, World Vision U.S.
