Sahel: Stop a crisis becoming a catastrophe

Great news! Thanks to your efforts, the UK government has acted on the crisis in Sahel


September 2012: Following sustained effort by Oxfam campaigners, the UK Government pledged an additional £15.4m to help vulnerable people in West Africa.

This strong action by the UK Government is great news. It's also a brilliant result from your campaigning; the money provided by the Government equates to life-saving aid for 1.6 million people. Thanks to you, these people may have a chance to rebuild their lives.

So what next? The crisis in Sahel is part of a wider food story that affects us all. We call this story 'GROW' and we're always working on it. Build on the success of this action and get involved - for a future where everyone always has enough to eat.
