Drought-tolerant seeds for 290 farmers' livelihood

Somalia is facing one of its most severe hunger crises in years, with nearly 6.5 million people struggling to find enough food after repeated droughts. Over 1.8 million children are at risk of malnutrition, many of them in farming families whose crops could not survive the drought.

This gift provides drought-tolerant seeds, from watermelon and tomatoes to sorghum, maize, and cowpeas, to 290 farmers, giving them crops that are climate-resilient. With sturdier harvests, families gain a more reliable source of food and income. For children in these families, it means meals on the table and parents better equipped to provide, even in the face of drought cycles.
