Africa Hunger Emergency Appeal

Climate. Conflict. Collapse. Millions face starvation across East, Central, and West Africa.



A Fast-Growing Crisis Across the Continent

The Horn, East, Central, and West Africa are in the grip of a devastating hunger emergency. Over 57 million people are struggling to survive. A deadly mix of climate extremes, conflict, and economic shocks—including the ripple effects of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine—have brought food systems to the brink of collapse.

Families are fleeing homes. Children are wasting away. Crops have failed. Livestock have died. And communities are running out of time.


The Numbers Are Staggering

  • 28 million people face extreme hunger in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and South Sudan
  • 13 million+ displaced in search of water, food, or safety
  • Crop failures and livestock deaths threaten entire ways of life
  • Food prices up 40% in parts of West Africa—out of reach for the poorest
  • Women and children are suffering disproportionately from violence, hunger, and displacement
