Hands at Work in Africa (Australia)

24/06/2024

HARVEST SUPPORT
Across sub-Saharan Africa a serious drought has resulted in a failed harvest for more than 60% of the communities Hands at Work is serving in. This has deepened the vulnerability of many of the families Hands at Work is supporting, who are primarily reliant upon subsistence farming for survival.
These families are now facing an extended hunger season, which requires an urgent and staged intervention approach.
For immediate food support some of the most vulnerable Primary Care Givers will be supported with daily food through the Care Points in the coming months. Hands at Work will also provide seed and fertiliser for the next planting season.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and in giving to support these families in this very vulnerable season.

FINDING THE MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN

Hunger Season Crisis
Crop failure due to drought, extreme weather patterns and other challenges such as accessing fertilisers and seeds has brought families in communities in Zambia, Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe into hunger season.
Hunger season is the period from when last years harvest runs out through to next years harvest being ready. It is the most challenging time of the year for families who rely primarily on subsistence farming to provide for their families.
Please join us in praying for those families who are struggling in this season, and if you would like to contribute financially, please give via GiveNow https://www.givenow.com.au/crisisresponsefund
