Your voice really matters to "make this the last famine in Africa"

Dear all,

I’ve been shocked by the recent images of suffering that we have seen from Somalia. In just 3 months 30,000 children have died. This figure is so large it’s hard to comprehend, let alone think about how behind this number are countless stories of human tragedy.

But it doesn’t have to be like this. In 2003 our leaders made a bold commitment to invest in agriculture and food security. We now wish to urge them to keep their promise.

Investing in agriculture is one of the best ways to reduce extreme poverty. With access to suitable seeds, technologies, and improved connections to markets, small-holder farmers can generate more income, send their children to school, help to keep food prices affordable and contribute to lifting their communities out of poverty for the long-term.

With your help we can make sure this the last famine on our continent.

Thank you,
