Thank you for your outpouring of love and compassion toward the people of northern Kenya and east Africa. With your support, Feed The Hungry has sent 8 ocean going container of rice meals, maize, and beans to provide much life-sustaining aid to thousands of women and children who are suffering. Another 40 tons of maize has been purchased in country to offer immediate relief!
Feed The Hungry Australia Director, Ben Evans, reports from the field,
“Traveling north you are lulled into a false sense of security. Southern Kenya is rich, vibrant, lush and full of life. In stark contrast, the Turkana region of northern Kenya is dry, dusty, and desolate. In Nairobi, children were playing carefree in fountains while just a few hundred miles to the north, people are dying from a lack of water. Feed The Hungry is there! Already in a few short weeks the difference we are making is amazing. Where once the people waited in misery and despair, Feed The Hungry teams were greeted with joy, appreciation, and deep gratefulness. Yes…we are feeding empty bellies, but even more importantly, we are showing the Turkana people that God has heard their prayers through generous donations. Hope has sprung once again in their weary hearts. They know that they are no longer alone.”
