The Horn of Africa
I just had myself a good cry reading about Africa. I wonder if the Horn of Africa is God's shofar to call out to the world to save those dying of starvation. We can give up one trip to a drive-thru restaurant and save someone dying of hunger. Here's the facts: 12.4 million are affected in the region
More than 35% of all children in the region are now facing emergency levels of malnutrition
Starvation is a real threat in famine-declared areas of Somalia
Some 30,000 children have already lost their lives
Worst drought in 60 years
World Vision has assisted communities in the Horn of Africa for 3 decades. Even now, our teams in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia are responding to this crisis with food, water, blankets and other critical needs for families.
Hunger is stalking 12.4 million across the Horn of Africa, with 35% of all children in the region now facing emergency levels of malnutrition. And starvation is a real threat for children in famine-declared areas of Somalia
