SOS 18th February 2009
In our ongoing programme of Child Support, we have come across acute cases of hunger in families whose children we are mobilizing educational support for.
Besides the initial 250 children whom we are working with, many more children have come to KCDN for similar support. We have listened to their stories, we have visited their places of residence and we know, these people need some intervention.
The current situation of food in the country has impacted very strongly on many Kenyans. In the slums of Nairobi, hunger is really severe. We know that levels of prostitution are on the rise due to food scarcity.
We know single mothers who are becoming desperate by the day, mothers who resort to peddling flesh as a means of survival. With this, cases of venereal diseases are also coming to fore. This means that the war against HIV/AIDS could be lost. By the time Kenya has new harvests to bring back normalcy, many more people will have contracted the disease.
With the current drought, drug addiction and abuse is also coming to fore. People who are hungry are resorting to all means to cheat hunger. Some are giving their children drugs as a sleeping pill. Some more are resorting to drugs as a tranquilizer. They want to forget that they are hungry.
It is out of this information that we want to appeal for support that can help the 250 children in our programme. Besides the educational support that we are mobilizing and working for, please do respond to the plight of these families.
We need rice, unga, cooking oil, dry cereals like maize and beans and any other food items you can give us.
This is a calling of our time. Lets us respond with that timeless creed of the Americans; yes we can.
