Urgent Appeal: Help a marginalized community living in the hinterlands of the Kenyan coast survive.

A marginalized community living in the hinterlands of the Kenyan coast are facing a devastating crisis, and we urgently need your help to provide immediate relief. Due to a combination of military restrictions aimed at curbing Al-Shabaab activities and failed crops, the people are suffering from a severe food shortage. Traditionally, they rely on hunting, gathering, and honey harvesting for survival. But due to restrictions on movement, they are unable to access vital forest resources, and their usual food sources, such as wild fruits and nuts, are insufficient to meet their nutritional needs. Our field leaders in the region are asking for assistance feeding 200 families. 

How You Can Help

We are aiming to raise $8,000 in crisis response funds to provide essential food packages to these families.

By contributing to this urgent cause, you can help ensure that these families, facing the twin burdens of food scarcity and conflict, can receive the nutrition they desperately need the nutrition they desperately need and further engagement for integrated work. Please join us in bringing immediate relief.

Donate today and be part of the solution.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

*If we meet the need, the funds will remain in our Crisis Response Fund (U020) to be used for other crisis.
