This Sunday, 18th June, I will be cycling 100 miles insha’Allah with the aim of raising vital funds to feed starving families in Somalia 🇸🇴 & Kenya 🇰🇪 via the Horn of Africa appeal. The route will be London - Brighton and back and might take around 10-12 hours to complete insha’Allah. 🚵
But here’s why this cause is so urgent and important:
350,000 children facing starvation
After little to no rain for three entire seasons and devastating losses to crops and livestock, hunger in Somalia is higher than it has been for thirty years.
Just £100 will provide a family with a nutritious food parcel to last a month, clean water, and a malnutrition kit, which contains the calorie-dense Plumpy Nut nutrition supplement. 📦
Human Appeal are also building vital water pumps on site which can alleviate drought and provide sanitation for an entire community. 🚰
Almost half a million people in the Horn of Africa are facing famine-like conditions, with one person dying every 48 seconds
In Somalia, 90% of all districts have been hit by drought, with people forced to flee their homes in search of food, water and pasture for their livestock. The uncertainty of displacement puts vulnerable families at risk of disease, poor hygiene, and gender-based violence.The worst hunger levels in three decades are a culmination of cyclical droughts, conflict, climate shocks, rising food prices, and national debt. There is no end in sight as the nation continues to await the mercy of rain.
Your support is urgently needed to help save lives.Right now, we’re providing:Food parcels containing around 60 kilograms of rice, flour, sugar, oil and milk powder, lasting a family an entire month. One months’ worth of clean water trucking in drought-hit communities. High-calorie treatment for malnutrition, in coordination with UNICEF.
Human Appeal are on the ground right now so any penny donated will go directly to feeding children and families straight away insha’Allah.
Donate now. Save a life, save humanity.
