Rise Against Hunger
crisis

Dear john, 

Yemen, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria, Haiti. 

COVID-19 has impacted every aspect of our daily lives, but in the countries listed here, the global health crisis presents an unimaginable threat. In these countries, lives may be saved from COVID-19 only to be lost to hunger. The world is facing the possibility of famines of “biblical proportions,” and the number of people living in a food crisis has never been higher*.

Conflict, extreme weather patterns and economic blows are contributing to the worsening food crisis. In many of these countries at extreme risk, Rise Against Hunger is playing a key role in meeting the immediate needs of 500,000+ people. Will you join us? Here are some of the ways we’re responding with our in-country partners.

In Somalia, we’re responding to drought and floods, reaching nearly 30,000 people. 

In Afghanistan, we are assisting with the Ramadan Emergency Food Distribution to 1,000+ households currently on lockdown.

In South Sudan we’re supporting a therapeutic feeding program to treat severe acute malnutrition and working to meet the food needs of several orphanages. 

For Venezuelan migrants in Colombia, we are providing nutritious meals and purchasing 10 metric tons of fresh food for distribution to 400,000 people. 

In Yemen, we are distributing food assistance to 660 internally displaced families, targeting households with malnourished infants and children and pregnant and breastfeeding women.

In Haiti, we have distributed emergency meals and medical aid to hospital patients, and are preparing to deploy an additional shipment.

Working through uncharted territory, the fight to end hunger marches on. Despite the challenges COVID-19 poses every single day, we will continue to work hand-in-hand with our global network of partners and Hunger Champions to reach those in crisis. Our response to COVID-19 will be a marathon, not a sprint, and we need you by our side

Will you give now to support our efforts to reach populations in crisis
