350,000 children facing starvation

Indeed, those men and women who give in charity and lend to Allah a good loan will have it multiplied for them, and they will have an honourable reward. (Quran 57:18)

More than 465,000 children and 93,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women, the two most vulnerable groups in times of droughts, are already acutely malnourished across northern Kenya.

Half of all livelihoods in Africa depend on agriculture. Five consecutive failed rainy seasons have decimated crops and livestock, and 1.8 million children are facing acute malnutrition.

Almost 40% of the population - a staggering 6.6 million people are facing acute food insecurity, meaning they urgently need food now to survive.

£100 – provide emergency food and water to impoverished families in Kenya. Food parcels containing; 60 kilograms of rice, flour, sugar, oil and milk powder & more. Contribute towards a shallow water well providing clean water to a village of 2000 people.

According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), 2020 ranked as the third-warmest year ever recorded in Africa. Estimates suggest the temperature could rise by up to 2.5C (4.5F) by 2050. Experts say that for every increment of global warming, changes in extreme weather events become larger. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moist air that can lead to extreme rainfall, but it can also result in more evaporation which brings more intense droughts.

After little to no rain for three entire seasons, hunger in Africa is higher than has been for thirty years. Devastating losses to crops and livestock have caused an unimaginable increase in hunger levels, with a staggering 55% increase in severely malnourished children being admitted into clinics.

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.
