Horn of Africa Appeal 

Whoever saves the life of one, it is as if he saved the whole of mankind” (Quran 5:32)

Inshallah later this year I will be travelling to Kenya with the Human Appeal team to hand deliver aid to our brothers and sisters! My goal is to raise £10,000 to help as many people as I can affected by starvation.

350,000 children facing starvation

A person dies every 48 seconds in East Africa 

After little to no rain for three entire seasons, hunger in Kenya 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.

Right now, we’re providing:

- £100 food parcel providing a family with a nutritious diet to last a month, clean water, and a malnutrition kit, which contains the calorie-dense Plumpy Nut nutrition supplement.

- One months’ worth of clean water trucking in drought-hit communities. 

- High-calorie treatment for malnutrition, in coordination with UNICEF. 

- Shelter and non-food items to displaced families arriving in Mogadishu’s camps.

So what now?
