Severe Drought — Food Shortages in Odisha

A severe drought is bringing immense hardship to rural communities across Odisha, where prolonged dry conditions and failed crops have left many families struggling to survive. With water sources drying up and harvests dramatically reduced, food shortages are becoming increasingly critical in some of the region’s most vulnerable villages.

Our feeding stations in rural Odisha are reporting urgent and heartbreaking conditions. Families, including young children and elderly members, are arriving seeking help after going without food for two to three days. Many parents are facing impossible choices as they struggle to provide even one meal for their children.

In response to this growing crisis, our teams are working tirelessly to provide emergency food assistance to families in need. Through local feeding stations and relief efforts, we are distributing nutritious meals and essential food supplies to help sustain vulnerable communities during this difficult season.

We ask for your prayers for the families facing hunger, for rain to bring relief to affected areas, and for strength and protection for those serving on the front lines of this response.

If you are able to help, your support can make an immediate difference. Just $1 can feed a family today, providing nourishment, hope, and relief to those who need it most.

Together, we can stand beside the people of Odisha and remind them they are not alone in this time of need.
