An ongoing drought that has lasted years, saps the land of any life-giving resources

A 5-year drought saps the land of any life-giving resources. Without crops, livestock or drinking water, poor Kenyan families can't feed their children.

Kenyan boys and girls are eating tree bark, hooves and roots to survive. Please send good, nutritious food to these little drought victims — before it's too late.

How Kenya is being affected by the drought:

• Farmland is drying up
• Kenya's grain harvest is expected to fall by 28%
• Food prices have soared 130%

Kenyans are even slaughtering their dairy goats for food. Goats, that alive, mean a steady supply of cheese and milk to secure a family's health and future.

Unless the country gets seasonal rains in November, Prime Minister Raila Odinga warns of a "catastrophe. To the 3.8 million people devastated -- the drought has already reached catastrophic levels."

The rain won't fix the problem immediately -- recovery will be long, but your generous gifts will provide life-giving food for 3 or more children, for an entire month.

Please help these boys and girls, as many as you possibly can, with an emergency gift of food.
