Action Against Hunger: Focus on the Horn of Africa

Approximately 11.5 million people in the Horn of Africa face massive food shortages, devastating livestock losses, and relentless drought conditions.  Many organizations that specialize in food security have mobilized resources to help deliver food specifically made to rapidly nourish those on the brink of dying.

How do you know which charity will be the most effective with your donation?

Action Against Hunger, highly rated by Charity Navigator, is one of the few NGO's authorized to help.  Their work includes "providing treatment and medical care for acutely malnourished children, general nutritional support for children under five years of age, and emergency access to food, clean water, and improved sanitation for vulnerable populations."
