Due to the famine and drought in the Horn of Africa, many African businesses and charities are sending in help and support. South Africa and the Kenyan organization Africans Act 4 Africa have donated lots of supplies and money. America has also attempted to help by proposing long term funding for African agriculture. But the famine is causing problems for Kenya because of the 400,000 people populating a Somali refugee camp. Nevertheless, aid continues to pour in to try to reverse the horrible conditions faced by the people affected by the famine.
