East Africa Food & Drought Crisis 2011 "There is a silent disaster, as deadly as tsunamis and earthquakes, occurring right now in East Africa. Millions of people, most of them innocent children, are at risk in the drought-stricken region, at least until the rainy season starts in about 100 days. Too many children, especially vulnerable to malnutrition and dehydration, have already perished. Save the Children is already on the ground saving lives. They are rapidly providing food, water, medicine and crucial support to families who have lost their incomes. But they need our help." 1 The Horn of Africa is experiencing its worst drought in 60 years. The drought means no grazing for animals. Which means many East African families no longer have a livelihood and cannot support themselves. As water sources dry up, people themselves are facing starvation. Thousands of children and families from Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia are walking miles and miles in search of sustenance. An emergency appeal to help these people in crisis has been launched. Please provide life-saving help. All donations matter. Consider donating $1 a day for 100 days. Consider donating the price of your morning coffee or weekly meals. Encourage your family and friends to join you and HELP SAVE A CHILD.
