The West Africa Sahel region is currently in the midst of a growing food crisis. As many as 15.5 million people are being affected, with many in need of emergency food and nutrition assistance. If the current crisis is not addressed soon, it has the potential of transitioning into a wide-spread famine with millions at risk.

Working through partners and relationships, Lutheran Disaster Response is standing ready to respond, helping those affected. With your help, we are participating in efforts to provide food, blankets, hygiene kits, clothing and medical supplies.

Your gift designated for "West Africa Sahel Drought Relief" will be used in full — 100 percent — in response to this disaster. Thank you! Join Lutheran Disaster Response and help provide the type of immediate and long-lasting support that is already underway in the affected regions.
