Responding to The Famine in East Africa

Making the news recently is the devastating famine in Eastern Africa. In Kenya, Somalia, and all along the coast people are seeking help at refugee camps, but many, mostly children in fact, continue to suffer. Parents of approximately 29,000 children under the age of five have lost their young loved ones in the course of these last three months. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14470324). 

There are certainly no easy answers to this crisis.  Together, we need to respond with not just with short-term solutions (which are essential), but also with mid-range and long term strategies that will prevent a re-occurrence.  Together, we must develop a focused and strategic approach to ensure sustainability, growth and the realization of the destinies of these nations.

Otherwise, history may unfortunately repeat itself, again and we may find ourselves responding to another "new" crisis in a few years. 

The writing is clearly on the wall. These nations need a targeted and multi-thronged approach.  Now, it's up to us as individuals, groups, governments and nations to act.

 

 

 

 

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
