A major drought emergency is unfolding in Bolivia.

Bolivia is experiencing the hottest winter on record resulting in more evaporation, drier soils and an increase in crop diseases, all of which has resulted in a reduced crop production. Some crops like lettuce and chard have not survived the extreme heat and lack of water. Small scale women farmers are not able to grow enough food to feed their families and sell their produce for income. 

Families have had to ration their water use and in some areas they need to have water delivered at a higher cost. The reduction of food crops and the added cost of water is putting extra financial pressure on families and threatening their food security.

Please support drought relief in Bolivia to ensure children and their families have enough food.
