This winter, while many of us gather around full tables of warm meals, families across Africa are wondering how they will eat tomorrow
Millions Face Hunger Across Africa
Food and care for children are becoming harder to reach. War and displacement in Sudan have disrupted food supplies, with 33.7 million people needing assistance under the 2026 UN humanitarian plan. Conflict, drought and flooding in Ethiopia and South Sudan are driving displacement and hunger, while refugee influx, rural poverty, malnutrition and food insecurity weigh on families in Djibouti.
Orphaned children, who lose the steady support every child needs, are among the most at risk.
Africa Relief & Community Development (ARCD) is on the ground in 32 African countries, providing food, clean water and care for orphaned children. Needs are rising faster than resources. Your winter gift helps us keep the response going.
