Food Crisis

I live in one of the poorest countries in the world. All around me people are struggling for food, health and their very survival. This is the country you can stereotype as "typical Africa" with its poverty and pain so very evident all around. People living on $1 a day. Women walking miles to the nearest well. Children dying of diarrhea. One in every 7 women die a childbirth related death. Starvation is always waiting in the next dry season.

Niger is beginning to plan for a hunger crisis to hit in about March. Here's a great link to explain the situation. This was not a drought year, it was just a year when it rained on the harvest before it was in from the field. Please be in prayer for Niger. This food crises could affect over 7 million people. That is a lot of people!
