Drought Relief

With donations from IDES, MPCC, and other various donors, AfricaHope was able to do a food distribution over the last few weeks. 2087 households from 26 different communities in our region received food for their families. (That's around 12,500 people!)

Greeting the community from the churches in the US who donated the food they were about to receive.

Each family received 4 bags of maize meal and a small container of shortening. This amount of food will feed a family of 6 for about 4 days.


Mamas walking home with bags full of food and a little more hope that they are not forgotten.

The rains have now begun in most of our rural communities. "God has remembered us," I've heard over and over again...
