WHAT DOES MY DONATION DO?
Northeastern Kenya and neighboring Somalia have been declared by the United Nations to be “in famine”. Funds raised at this Feed Turkana benefit will go directly to World Relief’s East Africa Food Crisis. World Relief needs to raise $499,300 to fund water and food distribution for 8,730 at a per person cost of $57.27. $180,000 will provide 8 wells drilled or fixed along with hygiene classes, soap distributions and the subsequent establishment of “water care committees” for 4,300 beneficiaries at $42 per person. $214,000 will support food distributions for 3,350 people for 6 months at $0.35 per day per person. $105,300 will buy and maintain two rough terrain vehicles equipped for this work. This is an immediate and life-saving intervention to enable congregations and their local communities to reach the next rain cycle. However, without on-going programs that address the fundamental food deficit and vulnerability, Turkana will continue to periodically need emergency food distributions. The long term solution is to increase the resilience of and output of agriculture in Turkana.
