With the increased drought in the Makindu area of Kenya, access to food is a challenge. Most households struggle to find enough food for just one meal a day. The ongoing food basket deliveries to the neediest households helps alleviate starvation and malnutrition to hundreds of kids and their guardians. Over winter break, with funds from this campaign, 40 HIV infected and affected households received essential nutritional support in the form of Holiday Food Baskets. Without proper nutrition, the children would struggle to live with their HIV.
Omondi, who is living with HIV, and his sister Sofia are enrolled with Makindu Children's Program and their household received a Holiday Food Basket. The entire household, which includes Omondi, Sofia, their elderly grandmother and 4 cousins were overjoyed with the extra food and ate well for days!
