This Diwali, as you light Diyas and celebrate with your loved ones, be the hope and light for drought-affected families.

Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia are facing the worst drought in 40 years following the failure of five successive rainy seasons.

Millions of people in this region are farmers who depend on their livestock and crops for survival but are being forced to flee their homes in search of water, food and pasture.

Their livestock and crops are dying; mothers are walking hundreds of kilometers to find water to give to their children. 

This Diwali, share your light with drought-affected families

Your donation could help deliver life-saving assistance and protection to millions of refugees, internally displaced people, and local host communities affected by the drought in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia.

                                         SHARE YOUR LIGHT

This Diwali, as you celebrate the power of light over darkness, please help share the light with drought-affected families who desperately need our support. Through your support, they will get shelter, food, and access to clean water. 

Please donate now.
