CRWRC Responds to Drought in the Sahel region of West Africa

Across West Africa, crops have failed as a result of poor rains and insect infestations.

Millions of lives are under threat.

Rising food prices and the return of 200,000 migrant workers due to civil wars in Libya and Ivory Coast have worsened the crisis.

The country of Niger has been particularly hard hit having endured a devastating drought in 2005, in 2010, and again this year.

CRWRC is responding through its local Nigerien partners.

Together, they are providing food assistance for six months for 4,062 families, approximately 28,434 people. This will give people time to harvest the 2012 crops.

This aid includes Food for Work (FFW) projects where people receive food in exchange for work on projects that improve the community.

Others will be able to purchase grain at subsidized prices.

Those who can’t work or purchase subsidized grain will be given free rations

This includes aid for those especially vulnerable including child-headed households, the elderly, and those with disabilities.

CRWRC is also distributing a variety of improved seeds to increase crop diversity and introduce new crops that can better withstand drought.

In addition to this response in Niger, CRWRC is also monitoring the drought situation in Mali and neighboring countries and will respond accordingly.

Your support is urgently needed. Please pray for the situation in West Africa and for CRWRC and its partners.

Please also give generously. Online: In Canada: 3475 Mainway PO Box 5070 STN LCD1, Burlington, Ontario, L7R 3Y In the US: 2850 Kalamazoo Ave SE Grand Rapids, MI CRWRC
