Iʼve raised £1,016 to help victims of the El Nino drought in PNG

Story
Papua New Guinea has been struck by a severe drought caused by the El Niño. Its effects are being particularly felt in the Western part of the country among those communities living in the most rural locations. Gardens have been unproductive from lack of rain and a surge in invasive pests have limited both crops and livestock. Food aid is not getting to the areas where people are desperate and dying. The people of Western Province have turned to us for help. Please do if you can.
