Ms. Jane Mwangi, the organization’s coordinator, announced this initiative during a relief distribution event at Hamesa Manyatta in Hola.
According to Kenya News Agency, the aid includes essential food and non-food items. During the event, 380 families received 960 bags of rice, 600 cartons of cooking fat, 400 bags each of green grams and beans, 250 bags of maize, and 200 blankets.
