Creation of food Security
Dadaab refugee camp in north-eastern Kenya continues to receive large influxes of refugees mainly from Somalia with about 30,000 new arrivals in June alone. Kenya currently has about 447,000 refugees with Dadaab hosting about 368,000 and Kakuma in north-western Kenya about 79,000. Most of the refugees arriving in Dadaab have high malnutrition rates, having walked long distances with little or no food and water. WFP is providing the new arrivals with a 15-day ration of food at reception centres as they await registration after which they are included in the regular food register for refugees. WFP also provides refugees with supplementary food assistance for malnourished children, pregnant and nursing mothers, in addition to a mid-morning meal for all primary and pre-primary school children and a take home ration for girls.
School meals remain an important safety net for many communities. WFP is providing school meals for 670,500 pre-primary and primary school children in arid and semi arid areas and in the slums in Nairobi. The Government of Kenya, through the Ministry of Education is also feeding 610,000 of school children through the Home Grown School Feeding programme.
We as an organization is overlooking how we can curb this by initiating advanced farming methods to prevent this in the coming years and t guarantee food security. Any Volunteers out there whoa are expatriates in Farming methods are welcome to help this project kick off.

food supplies run out.
The crisis in the Horn of Africa continues to worsen as food supplies run out. Children are dying because of a lack of food and clean water.
In parts of Northern Kenya, 37% of children are suffering from acute malnutrition, far above the 15% World Health Organisation’s threshold for an emergency situation.
This year, the area’s rainfall average was less than one-third of the average from the last 15 years. In Kenya, water is so scarce that families are walking up to 15 kilometres to find water sources. Combined with a 60 per cent increase in the price of maize it means that families are on the move in search of food. The effect of the ongoing drought is expected to get worse.
It a vital thing that we as the world start to do something, we have therefore started a cause and we are looking for people who can donate 20$ per month to help bring into a halt this big problem that is facing East Africa. You are open to click our donate link and give any amount which will be appreciated for, if you can also sponsor a kid you are welcome to do so since we have many kids that cant afford education because of their family financial background.

Hunger Bites
Kenya is experiencing one of the worst droughts in recent years. Northern Kenya is particularly affected and the government has declared the drought in this region a national disaster. The poor March to May 2011 long rains, coming successively after the failed October to December 2010, have greatly undermined the food security situation in the country. Up to 3.5 million people are affected by the drought and their plight has been worsened by high food prices resulting from both local and global factors.
And kids are suffering since this issue is affecting every one and mostly those that are less fortunate

Ndeiya the forgoten surbub!
Limuru District Commissioner Esther Maina has said that more than 40,000 people in the district face starvation because of the prevailing drought. Maina said that 10,000 people who are hard hit are from Ndeiya division which is a semi-arid area and which last received rains early last year. "Ndeiya is a semi-arid area with over 10,000 people who are starving as no rains have been experienced since last year and all dams have dried up," said Maina.
Maina was speaking yesterday at Ndeiya division in Limuru after visiting the area accompanied by all departmental heads in the district to assess the drought situation. The DC delivered 500 bags of maize to the people. Area Councillor Stephen Kaniaru said the 500 bags would only last two days.
He said most people resident in the area are IDPs and have no land to grow crops. He said they relied on menial jobs for survival and had to walk many kilometres each day in search of those jobs.
Any help to feed this young souls is most welcome
The DC said that two per cent of the children in Ndeiya had stopped attending school because of the drought situation. She said the children were forced by circumstances to join their parents in doing the menial jobs which paid as low as Sh80 a day which is not enough to feed a family.
