Drought in Brazil
In the heart of the Amazon region, a historic drought has wreaked havoc on the lives of those who call it home. The devastating effects of El Niño, climate change, and deforestation have combined to create a dire situation.The communities in this remote area are struggling to survive.
Without the traditional October rains last year, and the dry weather continuing well into 2024, the rivers that once provided them with food, trade opportunities, and access to essential services are now at record low levels. Tributaries have dried up completely, making it impossible for boats to navigate through. As a result, food and basic supplies are scarce. In response to this crisis, an urgent project was launched in Tefé, Amazonas.
Our local partners have been providing these communities with food baskets, water supplies, and hygiene kits, helping families through this drought crisis. Your regular gifts are ensuring that these families have vital support as they face this challenging time in their lives.
