Praying for safer access to food, treatment and shelter, from Borno’s cholera response to communities facing conflict and hunger.

A harvest can begin while hunger remains. Hospitals can keep working while disease presses hard. Today we pray for people living inside those tensions, and for those whose decisions can protect life.
