Could you support Concern’s immediate response to the crisis by organising a collection, holding a coffee morning or getting sponsored to fast for 24 hours?
Use your Justgiving page to raise funds with the support of family and friends. Whatever you decide to do, you’re helping to deliver life-saving assistance to those whose lives are at risk.
More than 16 million people in the region don’t know where their next meal will come from and children are at risk of dying from starvation. Tragically, famine has been declared in parts of South Sudan – the first to be announced worldwide in six years. It is also threatening Somalia, while Kenya and Ethiopia are facing severe food shortages from devastating droughts.
However, we need the help of our generous supporters to scale-up our response and reach even more people. With the crisis escalating, millions of people are in need of urgent support.
Concern is on the ground in all four countries providing emergency relief.
