4.35 million Kenyans are suffering the effects of the ongoing drought in Kenya. Through this platform, 40 million fellow citizens can lend a hand. It takes KES 3,000 to feed a family of four for one month. By working together, we can meet the needs of our fellow Kenyans at this crucial time. Every contribution counts.
For the last four years, our nation has experienced unexpectedly low rainfall resulting in drought, poor harvests, and crop failure in some parts of the country.
Other previous disasters have worsened this, such as the desert locust invasion in 2019, the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020 and 2021 and disruptions in the global supply chain of food following conflicts in Eastern Europe.
Acute malnutrition is also prevalent, with 942,000 children aged 6-59 months and 134,000 cases of pregnant or lactating women affected and needing treatment.
Wakenya Tulindane symbolises the need for Kenyans to join hands to safeguard our people and our country from the effects of drought. We are pooling together resources to meet current needs and curb future deficiencies.
