Horn Of Africa Update

*NEWS: 46,656 servings of specially formulated Manna Packs for malnourished infants and children have been airlifted to Nairobi, Kenya. Cargo expected to arrive 8/9/11; please pray for quick clearance through Customs so we can immediately deliver this life-saving food to children in need!

 

Thanks to your prayers - 33 tons of food is now loaded on 2 trucks and on the way up to the Turkana region.Turkana is one of the harshest places of habitation on earth. It has been described as:

“a horizonless frying pan of desolation, a sun-dried moon-scape of cracked earth harder than iron... Vast plains of dehydrated thorn scrub, sightless deserts and scorched black mountains. Temperatures often climb to 120 degrees in the shade... Thirst is the traveler's closest companion. The country may have been described best by the late journalist, Negley Farson, when he called it 'as close as you can get to hell on earth'." (Charles Miller, The Lunatic Express)

Infrastructure in Turkana is minimal. There is one paved road in the entire vast area of Turkana; not even one electrical grid or fixed or mobile phone stations. As a result, the provision of basic services encounters huge obstacles.Nutrition is terrible, with acute child malnourishment rates as high as 35% and chronic malnourishment prevalent. Child mortality until age 5 birth is 1 in 3; for the survivors, life expectancy is 42 years.

Together we can partner to not only bring hope in the crisis but to leave a legacy that defies the statistics.
