What Christian aid program cuts look like: Spoiled food in Ethiopia, no polio vaccine – The Christian Post

By Edgar Sandoval, Sr., President and CEO of World Vision U.S., USGLC Board Member

“Providing food for hungry people also gives vital support to U.S. farmers. Farmers can sell excess crops to the U.S. government, supporting families facing famine or severe malnutrition in places where food supplies cannot be purchased or sourced locally. These programs sustain tens of thousands of American jobs across the entire supply chain… Food supplies purchased from American farmers are at risk of waste or loss in warehouses in Ethiopia, where thousands of severely malnourished children could face starvation. A program we lead that provides more than 400,000 polio vaccinations every month in African countries has been paused, putting millions of children at risk of death and disability… As American Christians, our legacy of service to the most vulnerable shines brightly. I pray that in this moment we can look at those in need — both in the United States and around the world — with both our eyes and our hearts open.”
