Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!

As you probably know, there's a huge famine and drought in East Africa (also known as the Horn of Africa) right now and it's actually been going on since 2010 and is believed to be the worst drought to ever hit the Horn Of Africa in 60 years.

The people and even the animals there struggle to feed themselves let alone their families and loved ones. It's almost impossible for them to find clean water to drink or nutritious food to eat. This crisis has affected more than 12 million people in these countries (mainly Somalia). Young children are dying everyday because of the lack of simple resources that we sometimes may take for granted like clean water or even just a piece of fruit.

This is why we are going to raise money for this charity by doing a 48 hour fast. During our fast, we can only have 500ml of water for each day just to spice things up a little. This way, both of us will realise how precious water is and how it can affect so many lives. So basically we will have no food for 48 hours and only 1 litre of water between the two days. The fast will start at midnight on the 20th and end at midnight on the 22nd of January. 

We also hope to each keep a video diary of our fast and just update you guys on how we're doing so that our online donators can also be involved!

We hope that you find it in your heart to donate to this cause even if it's just a pound (or dollar or any other currency) because every little helps!

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

Thank you, Adeen and Julia! :D
