Drought

Please help people with disabilities, like Julius, caught up in an evolving drought crisis in Kenya, gain access to food, water and essential supplies.

“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” – Hebrews 13:16

Right now in Kenya, the worst drought in decades is pushing millions of people to the brink of starvation. When you hear this, you know two things instinctively.

ONE… we are living in increasingly challenging and uncertain times.

TWO… but God is still in control! And through His word, He calls us to act to help those most at risk.

We know that you care. You’ve shown that so well before. And put simply, today your kindness and generosity can help protect the life of someone with a disability trapped in the evolving drought crisis in Kenya.

Please will you prayerfully consider sending an urgent gift to help people with disabilities gain access to emergency food, clean water, medical supplies and mobility aids like crutches and wheelchairs.

Why is Kenya in crisis now? Three key reasons…

Drought has been affecting Kenya for the last 8 years. Another failed rainy season in early 2022 caused this year’s harvest to fail too. Food prices are spiralling, livestock are dying, and people are dying too.

COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the Kenyan economy, resulting in job losses and supply-chain breakdown.

The war in Ukraine has also made food shortages worse, and distracted the attention of the international aid community.

The scale of this unfolding tragedy is almost too big to fathom with millions of people on the brink of starvation.

This seems daunting, but all that really matters is the power of one gift right now to help one person, to protect one life.

Here’s the difference your urgent gift can make…

• You can help a vulnerable person with a disability get urgent access to food and water supplies.
• You can help a family affected by disability get access to medicine and other medical supplies.
• You can help provide access to essential mobility aids like crutches or a wheelchair for someone who won’t be able to reach food and water queues without them.

In this evolving food crisis, every day counts… so please will you prayerfully consider sending your gift today.

No matter how much you give, or how you give it, your gift helps and we thank you. Please act right now, to help children and adults on the brink of starvation.

We truly believe that God calls first on those of us He knows have both the compassion and the ability to act in time to help His children. You and I cannot end a drought, but together we can help protect the lives of the most vulnerable people caught up in it.

We pray you hear His call today to help vulnerable people with disabilities, like Julius, caught up in the Kenya drought crisis, gain access to food, water and mobility aids. Thank you for being willing to help in times of great crisis! May God bless you.
