Thanks to an exceptional outpouring of support, the famine never materialized.
Last spring, the people of Kaffrine in Senegal watched helplessly as their crops withered and died in the fields. Without irrigation, they depended entirely upon the rains to water their crops, and this year, the rains failed them. The rains started late and ended early leaving no time for the crops to mature before the dry season began.
