Across East Africa the food security situation is worsening due to drought conditions, low maize yields, fall armyworm invasion destroying crops and ongoing conflict. 

World Vision is on the ground in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and Somalia providing children and families’ lifesaving nutritional food, clean water in drought ridden areas and education for children unable to attend school. The outlook for the next three months is dire and we need your help to reach more people.

For our neighbours in the Pacific, the effects of climate change are already a daily reality.  As sea levels rise, families living in vulnerable island communities are seeing their homes get washed away, and crops fail. 

Sign the petition calling on political parties to back the Zero Carbon Act to ensure New Zealand takes action for a safe and stable climate for us all.
