COVID 19-Related Relief Delivered

In response to the COVID 19 crisis, the government in Kenya closed all schools in mid-March.  Since that time it was determined that schools would not reopen this year but a targeted date for reopening has been set for January 2021.

 As nutritional support forms a large part of our integrated program for children under six, it was determined that existing supplies would be distributed to families so that children would continue to benefit even during school closure.

 When it became clear that schools would not reopen for second and third terms, we mobilized our supporters toward an extraordinary food distribution in light of the ongoing pandemic.  Response has been encouraging as friends of Africa Exchange together with the disaster response team at the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship made this relief possible.

 Thank you for your contributions toward this effort! We plan on an additional distribution exercise toward the end of November.
