Feed Djibouti
Severe drought, high food prices, and a refugee crisis have worked together to leave a large portion of Djibouti’s 900,000 people without enough food to eat, forcing them to go hungry due to the soaring cost of food imports upon which the arid country is forced to rely.

Hunger in Djibouti
Despite the country being in a strategic position along the coast of the Horn of Africa, Djibouti remains one of the poorest countries in the world. The desert-like climate means most of the country is unsuitable for growing crops, forcing the population to rely on expensive imported food to survive.
Furthermore, regional instability has put pressure on Djibouti’s already strained economy and resources, pushing the nation even further into poverty. Djibouti has recently taken in refugees and immigrants from Ethiopia and Somalia following political instability, bringing the already weak economy to its knees.
A massive 79% of the population lives in poverty, with limited access to enough nutritious food to live a healthy life. Thousands of innocent people, including women and children, are in desperate need of our help!
