High Risk Crisis Zone
(© 2005 CARE)
Situation: Chronic drought has caused a serious food shortage in the northern and eastern provinces of this African country. Between 300,000 and 400,000 people are subsisting on one scant meal a day, or every other day. Without immediate help, the situation could quickly turn fatal.
Our Response: CARE is working with partner organizations to distribute emergency food and seeds for nutritious crops in 16 drought-stricken provinces. We are also working to get local people involved in organizing support networks that can keep people from going hungry in times of crisis. Thank you for helping make life-saving efforts like these possible!
When disaster strikes, when poverty threatens lives, CARE is there. With staff on the ground in 66 countries, we can respond quickly — with the right kind of help. And we stay after the crisis has passed, to resume and expand our poverty-fighting work. Want to be a part of the solution? Just click here to give a gift. Your generosity will go straight to work — and have a lasting, lifesaving impact in poor communities around the world!
