For
every dollar donated by individual Canadians to UNICEF between August
7-September 30, 2012, the Government of Canada will contribute a dollar
to relief efforts in the Sahel.A multiple disaster is stalking children in the Sahel. There is little time left to stave off a disaster facing more than a million children below the age of five. Children in eight countries – Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Cameroon, Nigeria and Senegal – are at imminent risk of severe malnutrition and death.
We are responding to a crisis caused by poor rainfall, failed harvests and rising food prices affecting over 15 million people. The Sahel is one of the poorest regions in the world where children already face daunting odds of survival. Without immediate humanitarian aid, an already desperate situation will only become worse.
