DC Entertainment launches ‘We Can Be Heroes’ campaign to benefit aid organisations working to alleviate famine in the Horn of Africa

(Andy’s note: DC Entertainment will match your donation to their nonprofit partners working to alleviate the suffering caused by the famine in the Horn of Africa. If you’ve got a spare couple of quid/dollars/whatever, get on this.)

Countries in the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya) are facing the worst drought in 60 years, causing a severe hunger crisis. According to the U.S. government, the crisis is unlike any other in terms of displacement, death and starvation of the population. More than 13 million people are in need of critical assistance. In Somalia alone, more than 250,000 people face starvation. Hundreds of thousands have fled to refugee camps seeking help. The situation is so critical that the United Nations officially declared famine for the first time in 21 years.

Humanitarian aid organizations are on the ground working to provide much needed relief to the drought and famine-stricken areas. But they need more help. They need our help.

Join the Justice League and DC Entertainment in raising awareness and funds for three nonprofit partners, Save the Children, International Rescue Committee and Mercy Corps, who are delivering aid where it is needed most. DC Entertainment will match donations 100%, and 50% of the purchase price from We Can Be Heroes products will go to saving lives.

The people of the Horn of Africa need us now.
