Fight Famine in Niger, and Plant a Better Future
Share
Whether
helping rebuild after the tsunami or working in our own communities,
Americans have shown again and again we are a compassionate
country. Many of us have been following the tragic events
unfolding in Niger, a West African nation now facing a famine affecting close to 4 million people.
That’s
a big number—about the same number of people as live in a state like
Kentucky, and even more people than live in Iowa or New
Hampshire. And any American farmer can tell you that when a
community is forced to eat the seed they should be saving to plant for
next year’s harvest, the situation is very serious—and maybe even hard
for us to see or really understand.
Right now, you can find out more about what’s happening in Niger and
decide how you want to get involved, by talking to your friends and
family or even choosing to do more. These ONE partners are
working to help the people of Niger, you can visit their web sites to
