Africa Crisis Relief

All of the Kids Against Hunger production will be focused on the children in the Horn of Africa. More than 10 million people across the Horn of Africa are in dire need of humanitarian assistance due to a deadly combination of drought, escalating food prices and armed conflict. Hundreds of thousands of children are facing death due to starvation. Among the most vulnerable to the drought and famine are 2 million children under the age of five in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti.


Malnutrition rates are at critical levels as the region suffers its worst dry spell in 50 years, compounded by rising food prices. The United Nations has declared famine in five regions of Somalia, including in camps for displaced families. In these famine zones, almost 10% of the children under age 5 die every 3 months. Thousands are crossing the border into neighboring countries to escape starvation. 

This humanitarian crisis is being called The Children's Famine


Our goal is to ship at least four million meals (fifteen rail cars) by the end of September to refugee camps in Northern Kenya where refugees from the Horn of Africa are fleeing to. We are working in partnership with World Help who is on the front lines with humanitarian relief in the Horn of Africa. Will you help?
