We urgently need your help in Southwest States Somalia to save lives.
The drought in Somalia has been classified as the most severe on record. There have been multiple warnings of a famine in the southwest state, but the available resources have not matched the urgent need on the ground to prevent this disaster. Our food crisis response programs are well established and can provide immediate help, but we need more resources.
