The FWD Campaign, sponsored by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is a relief campaign for the Horn of Africa. FWD stands for famine, war, and drought - the three crises currently affecting the Horn. It's the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, and no one is talking about it.

Through text donations of $10, people across America can do their part to help. By FWDing the facts of the crisis across their social networks, they can exponentially increase the awareness.

What can your $10 do?

• $10 can feed a family of 6 for two days.
• $10 can provide water to a family of 6 for two days.
• $10 can truck one ton of water 18 kilometers.
• $10 can vaccinate 17 children against measles.

• $9 can truck in a month's worth of water for a refugee
• $10 can provide 24 people with soap
• $6 can cover the cost of water purification for a family of five members for a period of one month providing them with safe drinking water and preventing further spread of water-borne and infectious diseases.

seriously, what the fuck do you compare diabetes with kids not having ANYTHING to eat whatsoever... ignorant fools! how dare you say "america comes first"... most of us can afford a couple of dollars no matter what. it's just that you don't fucking care about anyone else than yourselves!

[crazzzynut]

How about our own people here in the USA suffering..Im talking about the Native Americans. Lets help our people first..PINE RIDGE RESERVATION•8 Times the United States rate of diabetes

•5 Times the United States rate of cervical cancer•Twice the rate of heart disease

•1 in 4 infants born with fetal alcohol syndrome or effects

•Suicide rate more than twice the national rate•Teen suicide rate 4 times the national rate

i know this sounds heartless and selfish. but i think america should worry about and take care of their own people before they take care of other countries. i think foreign aid programs should stop until the debt crisis is better in america

@RyanForAsking Please don't put those comments on this type of videos, but rather the videos that are relative to your videos. If your videos are relative to this, then go ahead. :) Thank you and now we shall eat toast.

@crazzzynut (cont.) ...Suicide? that has nothing to do with Africans starving and most of it is due to ignorant kids bullying others. The Native Americans are not doing anywhere near as bad as the Africans, so thats wrong. You seriously need to think about what you write before you try to troll every video you find.

[keckles2007]

@crazzzynut you might be the most ignorant person ive ever heard on youtube, and thats a very huge accomplishment. Those facts are completely irrelevant. They have no choice but to starve, its not like they blew their money on drugs or random things like most of us americans do. F.A.S. is because stupid mothers decide to drink while pregnant, thats our fault. Im running out of room now.

WHAT SONG WAS AT THE END?

@MyLifeChanger Before you post a comment why dont you Google *Pine ridge reservation* or check videos here on youtube and learn the facts. Before Africa we in the USA need to help our own people here in the USA.
