Emergency Disaster Fund gives $25,000 for relief in Africa.

Two grants totaling $25,000 have been given for disaster relief in Africa, from the General Board's Emergency Disaster Fund.

An allocation of $15,000 supports a Church World Service appeal for continuing relief and rehabilitation for the people of Angola. The funds will help provide seeds and agricultural tools, and help build schools and health clinics, improve sanitation, and provide clean water sources.

A grant of $10,000 supports a Church World Service appeal for drought assistance and pending famine in the West African nation of Burkina Faso. The funds will be used to provide millet, children's feeding formula, and re-hydration tables for nearly 63,000 people.
