OUR BIG IDEA Hunger in East Africa Our Group Bread for the World

HUNGER STATISTICS IN EAST AFRICA

FOR the first time since the 1980s, the UN has declared a famine in Africa. An exceptionally severe drought is the main cause. More than 10m people are directly affected. The epicenter is in Somalia and Ethiopia—as aid agencies have made abundantly clear in their funding appeals— but the situation in neighboring Eritrea is almost as desperate and politically much more complicated. *PHOTO: e/ e/ GET THE VISUAL

BREAD FOR THE WORLD Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. By changing policies, programs and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist, we provide help and opportunity far beyond the communities where we live. Bread for the World is a 501(c)4 organization.
