Every 30 cents sends a lifesaving meal to someone in critical need
The global food crisis is not slowing down. Few are talking about it. But for people in places like Sudan, the risk of starvation is driving them from their homes in record numbers.
Over the past year, nine million people have fled Sudan to neighboring countries. Famine is looming for many. Conflict is the primary cause of the hunger crisis globally. Natural disasters and economic shocks are also contributing factors.
As people in the toughest places face unprecedented food insecurity, you can help! Every 30 cents you send today will put a meal into the hands of someone facing hunger or famine. You will also enable local staff teams to build relationships and share the hope of Jesus with those served.
Over the next four months, Unto has plans to send more than 2.3 million meals to suffering people in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Latin America. In the majority of the countries where our teams will be distributing food, the message of Jesus cannot be freely shared.
In order to ensure these meals make it into the hands of refugees, children and families facing famine, funding is needed by October 31. Your generosity today will provide essential nutrition for people living in the toughest places on earth.
Will you give today to rush lifesaving meals and share hope with those struggling to survive?
Meals and Hope for People in South Sudan
Your generosity impacts families like Abigail’s*. She lives in South Sudan with her 80-year-old mother and her two sons. Her husband died in the country’s civil war, and she is the family’s sole provider.
Because Abigail was never able to receive an education, her job opportunities are limited. After her husband passed, Abigail began doing domestic work to help provide, but the wages she earns simply are not enough to feed her family.
When the local Unto staff team heard about Abigail’s situation, they brought meals to the family’s home. It was perfect timing as they had nothing left to eat.
Abigail’s mother was especially grateful. Earlier that morning, she had been praying the Lord’s Prayer … “give us this day, our daily bread.” Your gift of meals was the answer to her prayers!
Millions of people, like Abigail, in South Sudan were already facing acute hunger. Now with many people from neighboring Sudan seeking refuge in the country, the food crisis is only worsening.
The local government does not have adequate supplies to help all those who are suffering. So they must rely on others to step in. Our in-country team member shared,
The government was looking for the support for the displaced people. When we responded, the government praised our organization for their swift action to help the needy people.
The local staff team in South Sudan was able to serve over 8,700 people, including families facing acute food insecurity and Sudanese refugees, through the gift of meals and other critical aid. This helped them build credibility with local authorities and increased their ministry effectiveness.
Your gift today will equip local Unto staff teams with the meals they need to serve those in their communities who are in critical need of help and hope.
Yes, I want to help feed hungry children and families!
