"My faith is grounded on this: We are stewards of God’s creation; we will have to give an account of what we have done." - Lister Nyang’anyi, Diocese of Central Tanganyika (DCT) director of development services coordination

In his work, Lister sees the daily reality of hunger, but this calling continues to drive him, and real change is happening. More women like Veronica (pictured) are stepping into leadership roles and learning how to support and feed their families.

Here’s a look inside a warehouse in South Sudan, where sorghum is being sorted for monthly food assistance implemented by our member @mccpeace and their local partner the South Sudanese Development and Relief Agency (SSUDRA).

This work is made possible through the generosity of Canadians across the country. Thanks to your support, and funding from @CanadaDev, our network is delivering emergency food assistance to families who so urgently need it. Through this project, more than 3,200 people will receive critical support during this time of crisis and uncertainty.

In North Kordofan, Sudan, ongoing conflict has made humanitarian access extremely difficult, leaving many people unable to access food or basic necessities.

In response, @ERDO_CANADA and @lminternationa1 Sudan, along with their local partner AORD, are working to reach the most vulnerable communities. Thanks to support from @CanadaDev, this project will support 4,420 households (22,100 people) with lifesaving relief.

Over the past three years, the Nature+ project has worked with communities to support the land, people, and institutions that depend on it across Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. 🌱

Using local knowledge, the program focuses on building resilience through restored landscapes and sustainable livelihoods. While conservation agriculture is a key part of this work, Nature+ goes beyond it to support activities people may not always associate with restoration, including beekeeping, improved access to water, and opportunities to sell goods in local markets.

This #EarthDay, we celebrate the impact of Nature+ and the sustainable practices helping to strengthen livelihoods, improve food systems, and restore land for generations to come.

The Nature+ project is funded in partnership with @CanadaDev.

We cannot look away from the crisis in Sudan.

You may not be able to give financially right now, but you can share this message. Bringing attention to this crisis and creating momentum can save lives.

Will you help make this crisis harder to ignore?

In times of ongoing crisis, prayer is one way we can respond with hope and care.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing prayers written and recorded by Foodgrains Bank staff for the people of Sudan. As conflict and hunger continue in this region, we invite you to join us in praying for families, communities, and our members' local partners who are enduring this crisis.

Today, we begin with this prayer from our team member Lorena Rivera.

Almighty Lord,

Today, we pray for the people of Sudan. Though this crisis may seem far away, it is not far from us who follow Jesus Christ. Remind us that He knew suffering and stood with the oppressed. Help us to see His face in those who are displaced, hungry, and forgotten.

Do not let distance make our hearts indifferent. When we sit at our tables in peace, remind us of those who do not know where their next meal will come from. When we go about our ordinary lives in safety, help us remember those whose lives have been broken by war.

Give us hearts that remain open to the suffering of our sisters and brothers in Sudan, and the courage to care, to pray, and to act with compassion.

Amen.

- Lorena Rivera, Nature+ MEL Coordinator at Canadian Foodgrains Bank
