On top of the dry and arid land, Kenya has suffered from an ongoing drought which has only made it harder for the people in the Makindu area to have enough food for just one day. The drought has caused crops to fail and cattle to starve. The world truly revolves around water.
Thankfully to our recurring donations, we have been able to alleviate true hunger pains from multiple families. The best we have done was during the holiday season. We were able to give 40 households nutritional support in the form of Holiday Food Baskets.
The food baskets helped a mother and her kids tremendously. The mother is HIV+ and battles to find work to provide for the children. Receiving the food basket gave the household a break from their constant struggle of finding food.
Many of the children and families that we provide for are suffering from being HIV+ and without proper nutrition their struggle with HIV is even harder.
