Dear <<First Name>>, we hope this finds you well
We feel quite sad with what is happening in East Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia) and most likely, you feel the same way.
The UN has called this East Africa’s worst drought in 60 years.
In an effort to support the humanitarian response in East Africa, Yogic Chai will donate 35% of your order during the month of August to savethechildren.org
“Large numbers of Somali refugees are fleeing conflict and drought in their homeland and walking to the border crossing point at Dollo Ado. From there, they are taken to nearby refugee camps in southern Ethiopia,” reports Duncan Harvey, Save the Children's Deputy Country Director in Ethiopia.
“Eighty percent of the refugees are children and the majority of the remainder are women. Many arrive in Dollo Ado having walked for weeks. They arrive sick and hungry. Many of the children urgently need food. We are still in a position to avert catastrophe if we act now.”
But with the situation worsening by the day — and no more rain due till late September — Save the Children urgently needs money to dramatically ramp up its response. "Thousands of children could starve if we don't get life-saving help to them fast," said Matt Croucher, Save the Children's regional emergency manager for East Africa. "Parents no longer have any way to feed their children; they've lost their animals, their wells have dried up and food is too expensive to afford. "We can stop this tragedy unfolding, but we only have half the money we need. We urgently need to raise the rest so we can save more children's lives."
