Drought in Kenya

We want to share with you about the heart breaking humanitarian crisis that is currently being faced by many Kenyans. Severe drought is affecting over 2.7 million people in Kenya right now who are facing food shortages.

To read more about it on the ABC website click here.
​

On a personal note, as well as severe water rationing in Nairobi, we personally have begun to see the effects at the local supermarket, where items that are regularly available are becoming scarce, due to the lack of rain in food producing areas of the country. While we are not facing any real problems, we want to be able to help those who are.

Sometimes it is easy to feel helpless when these things are happening on the other side of the world. We want to share with you about some ways that you can support the relief effort:
  • The Kenyan Red Cross is doing much to help on a large scale. To find out more go to www.kenyaredcross.org/appeal
  • A local supermarket chain, Nakumatt, is taking physical food donations to distribute to those affected most by the drought. If you want to donate this way, you can put money into our Australian account and we will organise to purchase the food.  To donate through us, click here for our account details and please make sure to mark the donation as "Drought Relief".

Please pray for the nation of Kenya and the whole of East Africa that is facing the devastating effects of drought and famine.
