Story

Collect online or take on a challenge to raise vital funds to support vulnerable families. For inspiration visit: CAFOD's A-Z of Fundraising

Right now, millions of families are facing a food crisis that could be worse than any we've lived through. In Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan, up to 20 million people are fighting for their very survival. They are facing terrifying drought and rocketing food prices. Schools are closed, and the threat of extreme hunger is forcing people to spend their life savings or leave their homes.

But with your help, there is hope. With the right support, delivered by our local aid experts to the people who need it most, we can make an enormous difference.

Together, we can help families build resilience in the face of extreme hunger, with tools, training and climate-resistant seeds to help with sustainable farming, with emergency food, water and shelter, and so much more.

Did you know:

£12 can help vulnerable communities learn how to grow weatherproof crops and help combat the effects of extreme weather.

£50 can provide food to a family who have nothing to eat following an emergency.

£54 can provide a vulnerable family with the essential materials needed to build a greenhouse, to grow fresh, nutritious vegetables all year round no matter how challenging the weather.

Thank you.
