There are major threats to food systems including conflict, famine and drought, locust invasion and the COVID-19 pandemic effects. The project contributes to sustainable development goal 2 with the aim to provide emergency food support, achieve food security and improved nutrition to most vulnerable families in the informal settlement of Nairobi. We are seeking support to enable us to respond to the nutritional needs of children, adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women, and older persons.
Most vulnerable families in informal settlements who depend on menial jobs have lost their livelihoods due to COVID-19 and famine and drought. Families have no food and no access to safety & preventive measures. Emergency response & relief by distributing food, supporting families set up home gardens to cushion them from food insecurity.
