Emergency & Risk Reduction Fund

Quman’s Story: Why This Fund Matters

Quman Egeh Jibril, a 52-year-old mother of six, knows what it means to face crisis after crisis. First, she lost her husband. Then famine swept through her village, killing their livestock—the family’s only source of income. Determined to provide for her children, she began collecting milk from nearby rural areas to sell in the market. It was just enough to survive—until the drought worsened. Suddenly, there was no milk to sell, no food to prepare, and her children went to bed hungry night after night. When African Relief Fund visited Quman, her story touched our hearts. With support from donors like you, we delivered emergency food assistance to her family. As she received the food package, her face lit up with relief. She prayed aloud: “May you never know hunger.” Your generosity gave a mother running out of options the hope she needed—and gave six hungry children a reason to smile again.

The Bigger Picture

Sadly, Quman’s struggle is the reality for millions. In 2025:

Over 38.8 million internally displaced people in Africa—the highest on record.
Over £160 billion in annual economic losses from floods, droughts, and disease.
Families in the Horn of Africa living on less than £1.50 a day—one crisis away from despair.

The Emergency & Risk Reduction Fund ensures ARF can respond within hours, not weeks, delivering life-saving relief while investing in long-term resilience.
