The effects of the pandemic are now being felt more than before. Looking back on the onset of the pandemic many families survived on the savings that they had made over the years. These small savings have long been depleted and now hunger and starvation are what they battle every day.
Many low-income families from the slums in Nairobi are going hungry due to a lack of enough food to sustain the whole family. The covid 19 restrictions might have been relaxed but they did not bring back the jobs that were lost during that time. The small-scale jobs that many slum dwellers depended on to earn a living have not been returned back.
The effect is even much bigger on families that have children living with disabilities. These are families that have doubled the budget in order to accommodate the dietary requirements of their children with disabilities. The donations you have kept on giving throughout the year have been the sources of hope and food for such families coming from the Mathare slums. Step Up 4 Autism has been able to provide food packages every month to more than 30 families with children who have disabilities in Mathare slums in Nairobi Kenya. This is big and on behalf of the children that we serve we say thank you for your kindness, generosity, and consistency.May God bless you and keep you so that in the coming year we can contiune the great weokr we have done together.
Kind regards,
Ruth Tenai,
President
