Drought

Ali and his family walked 300km for 28 days to reach safety. One of Ali’s siblings was not strong enough to make the journey and died along the way. 

His family arrived to a camp in east Africa tired and severely malnourished. Fortunately, Concern was there to provide them with emergency food rations, plastic sheeting and blankets when they arrived.
