Forced evictions are deepening the crisis
[link removed]
Dear John,
In the aftermath of flooding in Kenya, things have gone from bad to worse.
The government has ordered forced evictions to those living near flood-prone areas. It’s an effort to avoid destruction from flooding in the future. But the timing is awful.
As families assessed the damage to their homes and gathered any remaining possessions, the bulldozers arrived. It has been reported that three people, including two children, have died in the Mathare informal settlement ([link removed]) after being run over by bulldozers during demolitions.
We have been fundraising to support affected families in Mathare through our partner the Young Women's Leadership Institute. They have been busy providing emergency support there since the flash flooding occurred.
SUPPORT RELIEF EFFORTS NOW ([link removed])
We called, you answered
A huge thank you to those who have already supported our emergency flood relief appeal. Together we have raised £8,900. 100% of which will be distributed to partners providing relief across Kenya as soon as possible.
It is clear that affected families will only be supported by efforts from within the community. Our partner organisations have been providing clothing, food, school materials, and much more to those who have lost everything. But they are overwhelmed with requests for support.
Can you help us raise just £1,100 more to reach £10,000? 100% of your donation will directly support relief efforts in Kenya.
DONATE NOW ([link removed])
When the media is awash with global crises, your solidarity with our partners in Kenya is particularly appreciated. It is providing strength and solace at this testing time
With best wishes,
Hannah Little
