The drought situation is becoming worse by the day with the household production of milk and meat at its lowest and the price of milk and other dairy products has skyrocketed. Most of the children are malnourished and families are skipping meals to eat one meal a day. In some villages the people are going with no food the whole day and access to water for human and livestock consumption beinyou and at its lowest.
We have noot been able to raise enough to even cater for one household out of the 250 and our appeal is to reach out to support our cause. On a positive note we were able to raise 200$ through mobile money and we used it to get water for 2 villages. Over 50 households benefited from the water trucking in Badha Hurri.
The next six months (July- December) will be the toughest with predictions of the rains failure in October. We look forward to keep you posted with the updates from the field. We will be sharing some pictures from Marsabit on how the situation is on the ground. Most families lost 80% of their livestock during the drought and the remaining ones were wiped out by a one flash floods. It is our hope we will be able to support the 250 families for the next 6 months.
