Never without hope
We have seen the suffering in Ukraine. The shockwaves from that conflict are reverberating around the world. Fuel and food prices are rising. We can feel that here in the UK, yet it is the poorest countries and communities – many of whom are already facing multiple crises – that will once again bear the brunt.
Across the greater Horn of Africa region (including Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya), a terrible hunger crisis has been building following the worst drought there since 1981 – 13 million people are experiencing severe hunger every day. Yemen and Afghanistan are also on the brink of famine. Conflict and climate change are pushing millions of people towards total disaster.
With the world’s attention focused on Ukraine, there is a risk that the needs of these people will go unmet.
You can help ensure that doesn’t happen. Together, as the church, we can pour out the healing, restoring love of God. We are never without hope: there are practical things we can do today.
