110,000 people will survive.
110,000 people can smile.
110,000 people have hope.
Because of you.
You, your family and your church have helped ADRA Australia raise more than $1,100,000 for those suffering through the world’s worst humanitarian disaster in the Horn of Africa.
Because of your support and as a result of the Australian Governments dollar-for-dollar match we will now be able to deliver more than $2,000,000 worth of aid to the worst affected regions of Kenya and Somalia.
Because of you more than 110,000 people will survive this crisis.
Below is a short video our CEO Jonathan Duffy and Emergency Management Co-ordinator Ashleigh Plimmer put together to pass on their personal thanks.

We've truly been blown away by the outpouring of compassion and the blessing of God experienced during the last two months.
Thank you for partnering with us. Thank you for empowering communities. Thank you for changing lives.
In addition to our initial response in Kenya, the additional funds mean ADRA is now able to extend its impact in Kenya and across the border into Somalia.
ADRA is distributing emergency food, water and other essential items to the most severely affected families, drilling 150m deep bores that will provide clean and safe water for communities for at least 10 years, and we are improving hygiene and sanitation through the insallation of water points and by providing training in schools and mothers groups.
And, as the drought recedes, we will be distributing seeds and other equipment to help farmers re-establish their livelihoods.
Thank you for being part of this change!
Unfortunately we can't gaurantee the rains will fall or the weather will improve. We know there will be more work to do.
