Drought throughout Kenya is having a terrible effect on crops causing many families to miss meals or greatly reduce normal portions to try and get by. Virtually all of the guardian families served by MCC asked about the possibility of any relief food at their most recent visits. Some of the younger kids are too weak due to lack of food to make the long walk to schools, or are too weak and fatigued to be alert and do well in their studies. Elderly and the children face the greatest risk at this time.
We continue to ask for your support in this fight against malnutrition and starvation. In times of severe and urgent need the projects you help fund are more important than ever. With the new water pump and expanded solar power the Centre will be able to expand the garden plots available to guardians. MCC provides them with seeds so they can have fresh vegetables as well as staples from the food baskets. We need to continue these projects to prevent future malnutrition, but at this time the need is very immediate and life threatening.
