HUNGER WATCH IN KENYA

The Kenya Red Cross Society has received Sh46 million from donors to help address food shortage in the country. The society’s Deputy Secretary General James Kisia said the donations to the drought appeal have been received from companies, corporate organisations, businesses and members of the public. Dr Kisia said the group had so far distributed 2,279 metric tonnes of food to people in famine-stricken regions.
The Standard Group has also launched Sh20 million fund dubbed ‘Mercy Train — Tuungane Tuokoe Maisha’ to help the food crisis. The initiative will be running from Nairobi to Mombasa, stopping to drop food in areas affected by the drought.
