I'll be fundraising this Ramadan for Mission Relief while they will be on the ground distributing your donated aid in East Africa. For updates follow @missionreliefuk via social media.

The number of people at risk of starvation in the drought-ravaged Horn of Africa has increased to 22 million.

Years of insufficient rainfall across Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia have caused the worst drought in 40 years and conditions will lead to famine in the hardest-hit areas.

An unprecedented four failed rainy seasons has killed millions of livestock, destroyed crops and forced 1.1 million people from their homes in search of food and water.

The world needs to act now to protect the most vulnerable communities from the threat of widespread famine in the Horn of Africa.

There is still no end in sight to this drought crisis, so we must get the resources needed to save lives and stop people plunging into catastrophic levels of hunger and starvation.

Mission Relief will be delivering lifesaving aid in Kenya this Ramadan to help ease the suffering. Each food pack will contain, Rice, Wheat, Beans, Dates, Flour, Lentils and Porridge.
