Here’s some facts from the World Food Programme (WFP) site and where your donation efforts help:
•AFRICA FLOODS: 1.5 million people across the continent have been engulfed by Africa’s worst floods in decades. From helicopters in the east to boats in the west, WFP is using every means at its disposal to reach these victims.
•WHERE MOST NEEDED: This donation gives WFP the flexibility to respond with life-saving assistance when and where it is needed most. Your gift will support WFP’s beneficiaries’ most pressing needs, from life-saving food rations for disaster survivors to cooking essentials for refugee families struggling to survive.
•CHILD HUNGER: Our planet produces enough food for every man, woman, and child to live healthy and productive lives. Yet, every five seconds a child dies of hunger. Over 300 million of the world’s children suffer needlessly from chronic hunger. By giving today, you can help WFP change a child’s life forever.
•ASIAN FLOODS: Over 25 million people have been affected by floods across south Asia. WFP is providing assistance to the worst affected by the devastation in Nepal and Bangladesh. Your donation will contribute to WFP’s efforts to feed families who lost their crops and help them rehabilitate their homes.
•PERU: A powerful earthquake struck the southern coastal region of Peru on 16 August, killing hundreds of people and leaving many others homeless. By donating to WFP’s operation in Peru you will be helping provide urgently needed food supplies to the victims of this earthquake.
•DARFUR: After four years of crisis, food is running out for 2.5 million people in Darfur who rely on WFP rations for survival each month. Many have fled their homes to escape violence and are now sheltering in cramped makeshift camps and living conditions are desperate and dangerous. Without your support, WFP’s emergency rations risk being cut.
•SOUTHERN AFRICA: Drought is devastating crops across southern Africa, leaving almost five million people in Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Swaziland at risk of food shortages and adding a deadly new dynamic to some of the world’s highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rates. Without sufficient food, people affected by HIV/AIDS are robbed of one of their main defences against HIV and AIDS-related infections. Good nutrition also improves the effectiveness of drug treatments. Make an online donation today to help WFP use food assistance to soften the blow of HIV and AIDS on southern Africa.
