World Vision: A child dies every 17 minutes in Darfur
June 13, 2007 by Alexander
From World Vision President:
Over 200,000 people have died and 2 million have been driven from their homes as a result of the ongoing war in Darfur, Sudan. Suffering children and families need food, water, and medical care to survive.
World Vision is one of the few organizations still working in dangerous southern Darfur. But we need your help. When combined with government grant funds, your gift today will triple in impact to help save children and families in Sudan.
Time is running out, please respond now. Please also pray for our staff on the ground, and for the people of Darfur who are struggling to survive the world’s most devastating crisis.
Thank you, and God bless you for your support during times of emergency.
Rich Stearns
President, World Vision U.S.
