How often would you like to donate?

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have now achieved our goal for this appeal. We still urgently need funds to support our work with communities around the world facing extreme poverty, so your kind donation will be used where the need is greatest.

Help local churches bring hope to families facing extreme hunger

The situation in and around the Borena region of Ethiopia is critical. The changing climate has caused five failed rainy seasons, and an estimated 20.1 million people need urgent food support, including 7.4 million children and women who are malnourished.

Families have watched their livestock die around them through the drought. The farming and milk and butter production that once sustained them is all gone. We have been working with local churches to provide cash grants for emergency food needs, livestock and drought-resilient seeds. But hope is not lost. With your support, the local church can bring life-saving support to hundreds more families who are now on the brink of starvation.

Why should I get involved in the Ethiopia Hunger Crisis Appeal?

The prolonged drought and food shortages have been largely hidden from the world’s view. But we know God has not forgotten Ethiopia. And hope lies in the local church.

Poverty is not God's plan. The church is.
