Together we have raised over $6,000 during the past 2 weeks to bring relief to Kenyans during this crisis. This is an outstanding response so far!
Here is a report on how some of the funds are being used. In one camp, located near Kitale, the Red Cross delivered some tents to provide temporary housing to refugees. Dawson and Elizabeth Mudenyo, along with others, helped set the tents up. Dawson writes:
“We can accommodate 32 families in these tents but the cold at night is the biggest issue with small children. Some families have more than 7 small children. We manage to buy every family a blanket with a mat but that is not enough, the children need something warm especially the infants. We are therefore in need of about 109 blankets and some warm clothes for these infants which can be bought at second hand shop here. Last evening, we brought a medical nurse with us to diagnose these children and he said it required urgent attention. The Red cross is only providing food, that is corn, beans and rice. The infants are suffering, they are the most affected. We bought some medicines but the best way would be to get something warm for children. That is one urgent need now.”
We have sent Dawson additional funds today to meet this need.
What an awesome partnership between compassionate Christians here and caring Christians there!
