During the dry season, many of Kenya's rivers and small lakes dry up and crops fail. Then, when the rainy season hits, floods destroy homes and bring disease. One project your gift could help fund is providing life-saving emergency care packages in areas devastated by natural disaster. By distributing essentials such as tarpaulin, drinking water, rice, molasses, candles, water-purification tablets, mosquito nets, mobile toilets and medicines, we can save a great many lives.
"By acting quickly, we can save many lives and help people to recover from natural disaster."
Thomas Oyundi, emergency co-ordinator, Kenya
