Kenya is currently experiencing heavy rains from El Nino. These rains have led to flooding in different parts of the country, including the refugee camps. We are appealing to the Australians to extend a helping hand to the refugees to help precent waterborne disease outbreak, reduce livestock mortality and crop failure.

Our mission is to respond with vigour, compassion and empathy to the victims of the disaster in the most effective and efficient manner.

How will the funds be used?


Funds donated will be used for distribution of non-food items like shelter (plastic sheets), blankets, clothes, cooking utensils and mosquito nets. Consideration will be given to people living in unofficial shelters with poor sanitary conditions. Funds will also be used for hygiene promotion activities, including distribution of hygiene kits and soaps; posting key hygiene messages in public places; training and mobilizing Hygiene Promoters; running cleaning campaigns, preparing a community action plan (CAP); implementing the hygiene program based on the CAP; and monitoring hygiene behaviours; developing IEC materials and distributing them in local language. Continuous radio talk shows will be broadcast. Training of the refugees and local communities on waste disposal will be undertaken.

We also carry out provision of basic essential health services like management of diarrhoea and malaria in young children or prevention of urinary tract infections (common amongst women in flood situations due to immersion in heavily contaminated flood waters).
