Australian Help for Famine Relief in Niger

The Australians have opened their hearts and wallets to the suffering people of Niger in West Africa. They donated an impressive sum of $140,000 during the first week of an appeal for famine relief in that country; according the Australian Red Cross.

The money will be spent on food distributions in the mobile feeding centres located in Niger and the neighbouring countries of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Mauritania.
