"Horn of Africa prepares for their most severe drought in 40 years" ...
"Drought In Kenya: Acute lack of water is pushing millions towards hunger"
... "Ukraine war exacerbates crisis in Horn of Africa"

These are some of the recent
headlines on the worsening crisis in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The
region has suffered from three failed rain seasons in a row due to climate
change. Right now, it is bracing for a fourth.

The drought is decimating crops and livestock, which are families’ primary
sources of food and income. Shortages of water are forcing people from
their homes. Competition for food, water, and other scarce resources is
leading to increases in violent conflict.

Mercy Corps is working to alleviate hunger and meet immediate basic needs.
We are providing water, dietary supplements, and veterinary services to
pastoralists’ remaining livestock to help secure people’s livelihoods.

response in the region.


The war in Ukraine is compounding the crisis. Ukraine is
one of the world’s leading producers of wheat, corn, and sunflower oil.
The conflict has halted much of the agricultural production, leading to a
severe shortage and soaring food prices. In Somalia, for example, the
prices of cooking oil, beans, rice, sugar, and flour have nearly doubled.

In this time of crisis for millions around the world, a
group of generous Mercy Corps donors have already given to encourage
supporters like you to make a matching gift. We’ve set a goal to raise
$465,000 by May 10.

Giving to Mercy Corps
is a tangible, powerful action you can take to help people overcome
challenges like hunger, poverty, and conflict — can we
count on your support for people
and families facing urgent challenges in 40+ countries around the world?
