Don't
Let My People Die supports the sustainable survival
of nomadic people in Africa.
Nomadic
life is threatened by successive drought; more and more nomad
families are forced to give up their traditional lifestyle because
they've lost all their livestock.
The
organizations we support help the nomads
replenish their herds. They digs wells and help build food banks
so in the dry season people can get by.
Every
year is a hard year in nomad Africa, it is always a good time
to help.
"Government
officials and aid experts alike say despite the decent harvest,
in 2006 many communities still will not be able to escape the
hunger-poverty cycle. "While food security conditions have
temporarily improved following the harvest, a severe hunger
season (April-September 2006) is expected for the most food
insecure households," noted a 15 February bulletin from
the USAID Famine Early Warning System Network (FEWS)." (IRIN
