Horn of Africa - disaster relief


The longest drought in the Horn of Africa has driven thousands of people from their homes. Relief efforts continue as the over 11 million people affected work to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. For many this path has led them to a refugee camp in search of food, water, security and a chance to move forward.
As a church called and equipped to do God’s work in the world, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is helping those affected by working through our partners on the ground and local personnel in the refugee camps.
Your gift designated for “Horn of Africa Drought Relief,” will be used in full — 100 percent — in response to this disaster. Thank you!
Give through your congregation or send your check directly to:
