Southern Africa Drought 2007

Southern Africa’s worst drought in 30 years is threatening lives and destroying livelihoods. In a region already struggling with the impact of HIV and AIDS, extreme poverty and recurring droughts, five million people across Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe are threatened with hunger and malnutrition.

World Vision plans to reach out to approximately 1.7 million people in the three countries to meet families’ immediate survival needs while preparing them to better cope with future droughts and other emergencies.
