Canadian Lutheran World Relief is calling on Canadians to pray for those suffering through the current hunger crisis, and to give generously in support of the needs of all those affected.
CLWR has joined its partners in the Humanitarian Coalition in the fight against the hunger crisis that is affecting millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa.
Drought and the effects of climate change have put millions of small-scale farmers and the families they feed at risk of hunger. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the pressure, causing great difficulties for agriculture and supply chains in places like Ethiopia and South Sudan.
And now, the Ukraine crisis and its effect upon agricultural production has plunged parts of Africa into a historic hunger crisis. 50 million people are on the brink of starvation unless we act quickly and collectively.
Join churches across Canada in responding to this hunger crisis and use these resources on Sunday morning:
