Currently, El Nino is causing unusually heavy rains- throughout East Africa. The slum community of Kibera has been experiencing flash floods. Flooded streets mean that businesses can’t operate. Neither can food trucks enter Kibera. Even when the rain stops, the truckers are afraid to enter, because in the time it takes to unload their goods, there can be another downpour, preventing them from leaving! On the one hand there is a food shortage that is driving up prices. On the other hand, the women we support have less buying power because their businesses are not functioning well. There is much hardship and hunger.
Kijiji Cha Upendo (Village of Love) is providing the families with emergency food baskets. The total amount required to feed 135 families is $5,000. We are currently short by $3,000. Find out how you can help by going to Village of Love Canada – supports AIDS orphans within
