Responding to the crisis in East Africa
On Monday, the United Nations reported that 750,000 people in Somalia will be at risk of starvation over the next four months, with 58% of the children are already acutely malnourished. More than 12 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance across the Horn of Africa.
While the countries of East Africa are not Amway markets, the sheer scale of this crisis calls for us to respond.
Today, Amway announced a $100,000 commitment at a press conference in South Africa. We will partner with CARE, an organization on the front lines of providing emergency aid, safe water and sanitation to those affected.
A formal announcement is posted on our media site. You can learn more about the work CARE is doing on their site, and make a donation.
We hope this modest contribution will save lives, raise the visibility of this crisis, and inspire other companies and individuals to help.

I Wish I could do any small thing to help them. I will try to do my work well as a distributor of Amway. God bless all of you!
