Dear John,

Our world is changing. This holiday season, some families will only see snow on a postcard. In some areas, the climate crisis is increasing rainfall. For some, violent storms have already swallowed their homes.

For refugees in the East and Horn of Africa, severe flooding and drought are forcing them to flee once again. Caught between conflict and the climate crisis, they face devastation nearly everywhere they turn.

Thanks to kind supporters like you, our teams on the ground are saving lives and rebuilding homes.

“The trees we are planting with UNHCR give us hope. They are not just trees; they are a symbol of new beginnings for us and for the generations to come."
