Our response to the worst drought in 60 years in the region includes:

  • Supplying of 14.4 million litres of water to over 250,000 people in Kenya.
  • Supporting to 250,000 people in Ethiopia to save farms and livestock.
  • Reaching thousands of malnourished mothers and children in Somalia.

These are just some examples of the great work that is being done with your help.
