Millions of people are facing extreme hunger
East Africa Hunger Crisis
Last updated: 25 September 2025
Hundreds of thousands of people are facing catastrophic famine in Somalia. Please act now, together we can save lives.
We're working with our partners and communities across the Horn of Africa. But it’s a race against time and we need your help to do more. Please give today.
Families need a lifeline now. Here’s what your donation can do:
-
£19 could provide a hygiene kit
with soap, a jerry can for carrying water and water purification tablets.
-
£31 could provide cash to a family of four
to buy enough food for 2 weeks.
-
£60 could help support 20 women
on climate-resistant farming methods, and seeds and tools to grow vegetables.
The worst drought in decades

Your support could help us work with local partners to distribute emergency cash to families like Mareya’s. That cash can be a lifeline, helping people to buy food and other essentials they need to survive.
