Our DES Kakuma Famine Relief Fundraising Campaign has started to alleviate hunger among vulnerable families in the Camp. Generous donations have allowed us to support 26 families (164 individuals) experiencing severe food shortages due to ongoing famine conditions. Food assistance was provided to some of the camp’s most at-risk groups, including elderly persons, widows, and people with disabilities, orphaned children, and single-parent households.
Kampeni yetu ya kuchangisha pesa ya Msaada wa Njaa ya DES Kakuma imeanza kupunguza njaa kati ya familia zilizo hatarini katika Kambi. Michango ya ukarimu imeturuhusu kusaidia familia 26 (watu 164) wanaokabiliwa na uhaba mkubwa wa chakula kutokana na hali ya njaa inayoendelea. Msaada wa chakula ulitolewa kwa baadhi ya vikundi vilivyo hatarini zaidi kambini, ikiwa ni pamoja na wazee, wajane, na watu wenye ulemavu, watoto yatima, na kaya za mzazi mmoja.

First Meal In Days
“One of the families supported is a widowed mother of five, including two orphaned relatives she cares for. With no income and limited mobility due to disability, she shared that this food package was ‘a miracle that came at the right time.’ Her children were able to eat a full meal for the first time in days.”

Next Steps
Despite these achievements, thousands of families remain in urgent need of food assistance in Kakuma Refugee Camp, which hosts over 300,000 refugees and asylum seekers.
During the food distributions, we discovered many more families living in extreme hunger.

Mlo wa kwanza kwa siku
“Moja ya familia zinazosaidiwa ni mama mjane wa watoto watano, pamoja na jamaa wawili yatima anaowatunza. Bila mapato na uhamaji mdogo kwa sababu ya ulemavu, alishiriki kwamba kifurushi hiki cha chakula kilikuwa ‘muujiza uliokuja kwa wakati unaofaa.’ Watoto wake waliweza kula chakula kamili kwa mara ya kwanza baada ya siku.”
