All Africa Famine Relief, UMCOR Advance #101250

Every 30 seconds an African child dies of hunger. UMCOR is working to relieve the suffering caused by droughts and famines throughout Africa either through UMCOR field offices in countries like Sudan, or through partner organizations such as HEKS, a Swiss aid agency, in Niger. UMCOR has also provided a grant to assist with efforts to tackle rural poverty in Zimbabwe through nutrition programs, food distribution and self-supporting activities such as gardening.

Efficient-AquaWe're 100% efficient.  Every dollar you give to this emergency will provide humanitarian relief and recovery only for this emergency.  That's because gifts to the One Great Hour of Sharing offering covers UMCOR's costs to administer your gifts.
