Dear friends,
According to the World Bank, anyone who has less than 1.90 US dollars per day to live on is classed as poor. Other organisations include aspects such as life expectancy at birth in addition, alongside income. The causes and effects of poverty are multifaceted. And yet it is clearly visible much too often.
One consequence of poverty is hunger.
The north of Kenya is a region that is threatened by acute malnutrition.
Too little precipitation in the north and east of Kenya, a devastating plague of locusts and the COVID-19 pandemic have in the past year had a severely detrimental impact on the nutritional situation of the population, which is particularly dependent on pastoral agriculture. Once again this year, the rain that is so urgently needed, has stayed away.
More than two million people are consequently threatened by acute malnutrition.
Help has to be provided. And this is what we are doing, alongside with our local partner organisation:
- with food vouchers for families particularly endangered by the drought
- through the distribution of feed for animals and veterinary care
- through the provision of drinking water in regions in which wells have already dried up
- through the reactivation of wells that have dried up
And we are continuing to act. We will do our best and everything possible to improve the situation of as many people as possible who are affected by the drought.
With your support we can achieve even more. Every help counts – every contribution is another step on the long road against hunger.
Thank you so much for your support.
Yours truly,
|
