Donate to support families displaced by severe drought in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya.
This Holy month of Ramadan, Nour Ghandour and Rashed Belhasa are joining forces to mobilize their generous community to secure urgent support for drought affected families in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia.
The entire Horn of Africa is experiencing catastrophic drought — in Somalia alone, 90% of the country is severely affected and famine is unfolding in some areas. Millions of people in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya are farmers who depend on their livestock and crops for survival. Without enough water, livestock and crops are dying.
Families that were living in the comfort of their own homes a few months ago, are now facing the deadly mix of climate change, conflict, and displacement, and being forced to flee their homes in search of water and food. Some, already displaced by conflict in the region are being forced to flee again. UNHCR is urgently delivering life-saving aid , however cuts to funding has meant that UNHCR is having to make excruciating choices between providing water, health care and shelter to people in need.
But there is something you can do. Your gift, no matter how small, can make a difference #EveryGiftCounts.
Everybody deserves fresh, clean water and a safe place to sleep. In the spirit of Ramadan, the month of giving, your donation can provide water, emergency shelter and other live-saving aid to people forced to flee in the Horn of Africa.
Help us secure $500,000 to support 5,000 families this Ramadan.
