Climate refugees in Kenya

Please support us providing shelter, water and electricity for 12 internal refugees in Nairobi, Kenya, who lost their houses in the floods last year!

We supported them successfully from April 2024 to March 2024 with shelter, food and health care, and two of the children could go to school. While we have to to phase-out the support, their current situation is terrible: They were locked out of their shelter and are wandering the streets of Nairobi through the rain, even the children without proper clothing. We would like to support them with housing, water and electricity until the end of this year and need to bridge a three-month funding gap we currently have.

We need:

- for the rent 3x 200 EUR

- for electricity and water 3x160 EUR

- 673 EUR for medical treatment of the little girl who lost their parents

In total we need 1753 EUR.

Please make it possible for this group of mainly woman and children to live in dignity while they are trying to find new sources of income!
