I remember three very serious droughts in my life. But this is the worst.

Ayoyo works as a volunteer complaints handler at a cash distribution centre, ensuring that families received cash to buy essentials during a recent drought
CAFOD's work in Ethiopia includes work with farmers, and supporting families and malnourished children.
Food insecurity remains a concern in Ethiopia. Many Ethiopians rely on farming and cattle herding to feed their families and make a living, but increased droughts, irregular rains and poor-quality soil mean crops and livestock are suffering. Many families simply don't have enough to eat.
In the Tigray region, in addition to natural disasters, conflict has left many families homeless, and they need emergency food and shelter to survive.
Through the local Church, your donations mean we can get shelter, food, medicine and cash to families facing crisis. We also work longer term with farmers and their communities to survive droughts, rebuild and adapt to new weather patterns caused by climate change.

For our global Church year of Jubilee, Ethiopian artist Mulugeta Araya has painted an icon that is touring cathedrals and churches in England and Wales.
