Millions face starvation as drought devastates eastern Africa

In Kargi, north eastern Kenya, little Benjamin and children like him are showing the obvious signs of malnutrition; painfully thin limbs, swollen stomachs and lethargy.

His parents moved their children and animals many miles, in a search for water; only to find dried up wells and no pastures left.

Benjamin's parents have sold all they have in order to buy food - now they have nothing left to sell.

With more than 70% of domesticated animals already dead, and wells and boreholes drying up across eastern Africa, the people are in a desperate state. 

Feed The Children has staff in Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia, and elsewhere in Africa, working with communities devastated by the drought - can you help?

To meet the immediate need, Feed The Children is providing emergency food and water supplies.

  But for the long term, Feed The Children will help families rebuild their lives.  With training in water management and agricultural techniques, communities can work for themselves in solving their most basic problem - poverty.

 Help us bring hope to suffering families - please donate what you can.
