CATHOLICS in the Clifton Diocese, which covers Somerset, have so far raised £30,000 for Catholic relief agency CAFOD to help ease the grave food crisis affecting the people of Niger.
The Catholic community has delved deep into their pockets in response to the Niger crisis and the money will go directly to aid agency CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development)
Niger is facing one of the worst hunger crises in its history, following severe drought and the country's worst locust invasion in 15 years.
