Marsabit County in northern Kenya now has 90 confirmed Covid19 cases as of Thursday, November 19, 2020. A few deaths have also been recorded, with health workers among the worst hit. We resumed working from the office in July but the rising cases have caused a lot of fear among communities and staff.
We are still implementing our activities, however, at a reduced scale. We have also taken action to protect staff by introducing guidelines and ensuring they have access to masks and hand sanitizers at all times. It is difficult but we know that our communities need us and that is why we will keep going for as long as possible.
We have supported one family for one month during the last quarter. This has helped to provide whole foods such as wheat flour, corn flour, oil, sugar, salt and rice. This budget is shared between 7 family members and they are grateful for the support that they have so far received.
We hope that with more support, we will be able to support families like this one with more cash and be able to reach more people.
