Alarmingly, 50 million people worldwide are <a href=\"\/hunger-news-stories\/fallout-when-hunger-has-no-borders\">facing starvation<\/a> if nothing is done. Hunger was escalating even before the war in Ukraine due to extreme and unpredictable weather patterns, protracted conflict and violence, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, by limiting access to critical wheat exports from the region, the war inflated food costs even further &mdash; at a time when families were already suffering.<\/p>\n<p>This was true in Turkana, where the worst drought in four decades has dried up grazing lands and caused the widespread death of livestock. Families who didn&rsquo;t have safety nets to begin with now lack milk or meat from their animals and face food prices beyond what they can pay. Pushed to the limit, they subsist on food rations from World Vision and <a href=\"\/hunger-news-stories\/scarce-nutritious-options-for-children-somalia-drought-persists\">wild fruit that has the consistency of sawdust<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>World Vision&rsquo;s response<\/h2>\n<p>As I arrived for a food distribution, I thanked God that World Vision was there to <a href=\"\/our-work\/hunger-food-security\">deliver life-saving food<\/a> for Turkana families. In the prayer time before the distribution began, our staff and community members thanked God too, and expressed gratitude for you, our donors.<\/p>\n<p>With your help, we strive wherever we work to serve the most vulnerable. This particular food distribution reached 150 families who&rsquo;d been identified for their critical need, based in part on whether they still had animals to sustain them. Among them was a mom named Ekidor, who came with three of her six children. She and her husband sell charcoal and handmade reed baskets for a living, earning enough so that some of their kids can go to school.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_87195\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87195\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-87195 size-medium lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"A Kenyan man and woman dressed in colorful clothing carry a large white sack marked with the World Food Programme logo.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-850x566.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-1140x759.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1165-031-1280x852.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-87195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ekidor and her husband, Paul, return home with a 110-pound sack of food rations after a World Vision distribution in Nakorio village, Turkana, Kenya.

Waiting at her gate was a group of neighbors who were not eligible for the distribution &mdash; yet they were still hungry. Without hesitation, Ekidor took a cup and began scooping out portions of her food for them. Her generosity left me speechless.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been taught this at church,&rdquo; Ekidor later told me. &ldquo;These are people with no place else to go.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Radical generosity<\/h2>\n<p>I quickly learned that the Turkana people have a strong sense of community &mdash; so strong that sharing with others is common, even in a time of dire need.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if we expanded <em>our<\/em> vision of community to encompass all God&rsquo;s children around the globe. How beautiful it would be if we embraced the Turkana spirit of generosity &mdash; not just at Christmas but <a href=\"\/charitable-giving-news-stories\/5-reasons-share-your-blessings-giving-tuesday\">all year round<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>I was also struck by the vital role the church plays in Ekidor&rsquo;s community. &ldquo;The church is like our second home,&rdquo; she explained. &ldquo;We get spiritual nourishment. Without it, life would be hard.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_87193\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-87193\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-87193 size-medium lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"A man in a blue shirt kneels next to two small Kenyan children as they stand amid animal bones on dusty ground.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-640x426.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-850x566.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-1140x759.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189.jpg 1623w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2022\/10\/D200-1172-189-1280x852.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-87193\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Edgar witnessed heartbreaking hunger and extravagant faith in God during his trip to see World Vision&rsquo;s work in drought-stricken Turkana, Kenya.
