The money you have raised has already paid for water, food, healthcare and sanitation for hundreds of thousands of people in the Horn of Africa. We would also like to let people know that they can still continue to help whether by donations or by holding fund-raising events, whatever money and/or time people can spare will help us and other humanitarian agencies to reach more people in Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia who are suffering from severe food shortages in East Africa. To donate, visit dec.org.uk or call 0370 6060900. If you would like help to start collections or hold fund-raising events in your area, contact Jenna Wills on 0121 6343611.
