Flood in Kenya - Emergency relief

Since weeks there is heavy rain in Kenya, 267 people died due to the severe weather and thousands lost their homes. There are now more than 281 000 displaced people.

Dianah Sayi Mugalizi, a climate activist from Nairobi is one of the lucky people who have secured a dry place to live. Dianah is hosting 12 refugees, among them women who are breastfeeding and elder women who need urgent medical attention. They have nowhere to call home now since their homes were carried by water. They dearly need your help for food, basic amenities and emergency housing.

Please, support her supporting others!

We are in contact with larger foundations to support rebuilding the lost homes, but that will take time, for now private support is the fastest way to help.
