Supporting The Horn of Africa- Locust Devouring Crops
Food Crisis Disaster Relief
A locust infestation in the Horn of Africa is bringing about one of the worst food crises in the region in more than 70 years, officials have warned.
In the past few weeks, locusts have swarmed Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, and most recently South Sudan, devouring crops and pastures. There is always a risk when you have people in acute food insecurity that famine is not very far. In a day locusts can devour enough food to feed some 34 million people. Opulent Philanthropy Inc. is raising funds for the aerial spraying of pesticides to save crops and provide food.
