Underdeveloped conditions coupled with the often-occurring drought or floods set the stage for a population that is very vulnerable.
The death of a young mother, already a tragedy, is made many times worse if the family has insufficient resources for feeding her infant child. The loss of a maize crop to drought, where there is no other recourse, can spell hunger and famine for entire communities. Sadly, due to a number of factors, these scenarios occur regularly. People trapped in the grip of poverty with little or no access to services or education need someone who can help them find the way out.
We provide emergency relief to those suffering from natural disasters as well as to people in crisis situations who have no other hope of survival.
With the gracious help of many we are able to assist people in need. This is done by:
- Providing meals to school children to ensure their healthy development.
- Providing emergency food supplies during times of crisis.
- Providing milk formula for orphaned infants and toddlers, or infants suffering from malnutrition.
- Providing monthly food stipends to orphans and their elderly, widowed caregivers.
