SOMALIA RELIEF MISSION (SRM)
Over 12 million people throughout the Horn of Africa (Eastern Africa) have been affected by one of the worst famines in history.
Just to give you a little insight as to the magnitude of the crisis, to date, the drought and famine in Somalia have killed more than 29,000 children under the age of 5 according to U.S. estimates (this is the first time such a precise death toll has been released related to the Horn of Africa crisis); thousands more above these age ranges have lost and continue to lose their lives on a weekly basis.
On October 30th -November 4th, 2011, FoH conducted a relief mission in Northern Kenya targeting Somali refugees migrating south across the Kenyan border fleeing from war, drought, and famine in Somalia. The operation was structured to cater to the spiritual and physical needs of the aid recipients. FoH Executive Director, Isaac, met up with FOH ground staff in Northern Kenya (a crew of staff and volunteers consisting of about 40 participants including a team of 10 medical practitioners, security forces, food distributors, clergy, logistic technicians, transportation crew, etc.).
The ongoing goal of FoH is to conduct several medical clinics and seminars, leadership development and community empowerment seminars, food and water distribution to internally displaced Somali refugees for the next several years. FoH is asking not only for your prayer support, but also your financial support to help fund this ongoing effort.
