Pray for East Africa

As we distribute food, seeds and tools to communities facing hunger in East Africa, your prayers are needed. This disaster threatens to turn into a major humanitarian disaster.

Please pray for

• RAIN: the right amount of rain needs to fall at the right time to secure a harvest.


• WISDOM: we need wisdom to ensure our response effectively benefits as many people as possible.


• SECURITY: fighting in Somalia is contributing to the crisis and severely hindering the safe delivery of aid.


• THE FUTURE: we have long-term projects in East Africa helping communities to be more resilient to drought.
