Niger Benefit Show
|
Niger Benefit Show - The Fulani, Tuareg and Wodaabe peoples, among others, may lose their nomadic way of life in 2005, as a result of severe drought and locust infestation. A small donation could make the difference between a free, nomadic life, and poverty in the slums for those who survive.
Don't wait until it's too late.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Flash Appeal for Niger states that "3.6 million of Niger's 12 million inhabitants are directly affected by this food crisis. 800,000 children under-five are suffering from hunger, including 150,000 who are
currently showing signs of severe malnutrition."
