Heavy rains, bursting rivers and raging floods have affected Kenya massively during the last week. Entire houses, livestock and as well people have been carried away by the waters, resulting in deaths and destruction. Many people lost everything when their houses and belongings were swept away, now seeking shelter in churches and schools that serve as rescue centres.

In Mathare, a slum area in Nairobi, that is home to around half a million people the situation is devastating - most of the affected people were struggling to make ends meet before the floods already.

Through modelling events and efforts to school kids I developed close ties with some families in the area during my last stay in Kenya. At least two of these families have now been gravely affected by the floods.

Their houses have been destroyed, their belongings are gone, they are sleeping in a church with around 150 other people.

Most of their basic necessities like food and hygiene are not covered at the moment.

To help them cope better in these painful moments I would like to make care packages that include for example:

- food

- blankets

- toothbrushes

- toothpaste

- sanitary pads

I would be incredibly happy and thankful for any support towards these two and other affected families. I will share updates and pictures of our progress. I assure you that every contribution, however small it is, can make a difference ♥️
