RC Diocese of Argyll & the Isles

SCIAF has raise £1,000,000 so far to help combat the effects of the famine in the Horn and East of Africa.

 Your help has offered life-saving support to tens of thousands of people who have suffered to effects of the crisis in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Somalia.

 Your donations are providing food and safe water, medicines and hygiene packs, cash support for work programmes to improve wells and ponds and to buy livestock and re-locate farmers to better pasture.

SCIAF works with partners in the affected countries and that has helped get the cash straight to those most in need.

Marian Pallister, SCIAF ambassador for the diocese of Argyll and the Isles, says: The drought is still affecting thousands of people. Crops are failing, livestock are dying and there has been no choice but to try to reach the aid stations and refugee camps for food, water and shelter.

 ‘Thank you for all the help you have so generously given already,’ Marian says, ‘but sadly, the problem is on-going. If you can make a donation to SCIAF’s emergency appeal, go https://www.sciaf2.org.uk/SSLPage.aspx?pid=481&srctid=1&erid=326320.’
