Please Continue Your Support to Those Under the Food Crisis of East Africa

The food crisis in East Africa brought by drought and conflicts is threatening the lives of 20 million Africans. Members of the Integral Alliance (IA) are working tirelessly in providing food to Somali, Kenya, and Ethiopia. CEDAR is currently focusing on helping Ethiopia through our local partners and member agencies of the IA.

Ethiopia has experienced 2 consecutive years of drought which affects close to 10 million people—a situation worsened by rapid population growth, poor farmland management, and climbing food prices. Currently, 5.6 million Ethiopians are in critical conditions, and the number of those in hunger was expected to increase to 15 million in the coming months. Families reportedly sold their farmlands and livestock at an extreme loss just to fill their stomachs. That would in turn cost them greatly in the future as they’ve lost the only tools to make a living.

Our partners, Tearfund UK and Ethiopian Guenet Church Development and Welfare Organization (EGCDWO), are providing emergency food, clean water, and health support to 40 thousand individuals in 40 heavily affected villages in southern Ethiopia. They also give the villagers seeds for growing new crops:
