Right now, millions of families are facing a perfect storm of converging crises: the coronavirus pandemic, climate change, conflict and skyrocketing food prices. Because of this, people are at breaking point. CAFOD is launching an urgent appeal to respond.
This world food crisis could be worse than any we’ve lived through. With the right support, delivered by our local aid experts to the people who need it most, we can make an enormous difference. Please support our World Food Crisis Appeal.
In the affected areas of East Africa, remote communities have been learning to cope with the impacts of climate change for years. But collapsing supply chains, on top of four consecutive years of unbearable drought, have put everything they’ve worked for at risk. The scale of this global crisis is immense – but, together, we are far from powerless.
Your support can help local experts stop this crisis turning into one of the worst humanitarian tragedies we’ve ever seen. Please give what you can today to provide urgent help now to families in East Africa, support communities around the world working hard to put food on the table, and help fight the causes of hunger longer term.
CAFOD Director Christine Allen travelled to northern Kenya to find out how a global food crisis is affecting farming families.
She experienced first-hand the challenges of reaching remote communities with vital aid, but is certain that with the right support, no one is beyond the reach of the love they need to thrive and live with dignity.
The crisis in East Africa is happening in the context of a global food system that was already broken. If they are better supported, communities can develop more resilience to cope in the most difficult times.
As National Volunteers’ Week ends, we celebrate everyone who shares their time to help fight poverty and work for justice all through the year. We are inspired by CAFOD volunteer Caitlin Miller.
Lily Bliss of CAFOD's Legacy team shares her thoughts on the power of a gift. From that first Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit, which inspired faith through generations, to a gift in a Will - a powerful act of love.
