African Women Rising

Due to the dismantling of USAID, the World Food Program has lost 50% of its funding. This is leading to cuts in food distributions in refugee camps all over the world. In Palabek camp, a place already struggling with malnutrition, this means people are now receiving only 22% of their nutritional needs. At the same time, many of the organizations working to fill that gap have lost their funding as well. AWR is doing all it can to fill that gap in Palabek, increasing programs that help people grow their own food. We need your help right now to prevent increased malnutrition and hunger.

“Being a part of AWR is helping me with school fees. I pay for one child in high school and two in primary. I still have one boy at home, I couldn’t afford to send him. They all used to stay at home. I have just started with AWR and can already pay fees for three. I know soon I’ll be able to earn enough to send all of them. The loans i have taken from the group have been so helpful and the AWR community mobilizers help us with business skills to make the money grow.” Cecerina, 60 years old, 9 adult children and taking care of 4 grandkids.
