Things have been pretty rough in Kenya. Recently heavy rains outside of rain season have fallen and destroyed many houses, along with the quality of life for so many. A household typically consists of one grandparent and many kids that are either siblings, cousins or not related at all. Since food is so scarce in Kenya, people have been focussing on finding food to stay healthy instead of rebuilding their homes. They are also unable to afford to rebuild their homes, because it’s either that or eating. We would love to help the multiple families affected by the horrible rains to be able to focus on rebuilding their homes and not searching for meals. With our food baskets the kids will be able to focus on their studies and the grandparents will have an easier time prioritizing rebuilding their homes. Unfortunately this is going to be a rough holiday season for many of the families we support because they haven’t been able to rebuild their homes. We hope we can at least provide them with a comforting and long lasting meal.
