Drought Devastates Parts of East Africa
Families across Kenya and South Sudan have been hit hard by drought, which has led to hunger, thirst, and disease. Even worse, the strain on resources has meant that livestock are dying, affecting livelihoods. There have been reports of domestic and inter-communal violence as well.
In Kenya alone, an estimated 1.4 million people face acute food insecurity and need humanitarian assistance.
Islamic Relief staff are on the ground providing emergency relief to families in need, but we need your support to reach more people and to provide more aid. Your donation today can help support efforts to bring clean water and urgent food for families, and veterinary aid for affected livestock to help farmers get back their livelihoods.
We will update this page with more details as they are made available. Please give generously.
The Islamic Relief global family has been providing emergency relief and integrated programming to families in need across Africa since 1984, starting with a call to provide humanitarian aid to Sudan.
Since then, Islamic Relief has established a presence in 16 African countries, with field staff on the ground to address needs quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
From addressing poor water and sanitation access, providing solutions that tackle food insecurity and malnutrition, alleviating poverty and difficulties faced by orphans, to sending urgent aid during emergencies, Islamic Relief donors continue their humanitarian legacy in the service of our sisters and brothers across Africa.
