An Urgent Plea To Help Those Devastated by Flooding in Libore, Niger
A plea from Pencils for Kids and our partner Eliminate Poverty Now
When your friends cry out for help, how do you answer?
Pencils for Kids doesn’t do disaster relief, but weeks of heavy rain in Niger have caused massive flooding. One third of the 32,000 people in the Liboré villages where we work have been affected, and while international aid is beginning to trickle in, our friends have an immediate need for basics such as safe drinking water, food, and mosquito bed nets.
Water is waist deep in many areas
They have asked for our help, and we are doing our best to come to their aid by spreading the word and giving what we can, and by asking you to join us in our effort. Please send what you can to Pencils for Kids for Liboré Disaster Relief. Every little bit helps.
- $10 buys a water bucket and bed net.
- $50 buys a bucket, a bed net, and a 100 kg bag of grain.

We ask that you please pass this message on to 20 friends to help spread the word; this recent article from the BBC explains what is happening on the ground : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-19384377
Thank you.
