Women receive beans, rice, and a nutritious soy mix at a parish center in northern Kenya. The food is funded by Caritas.
In summer 2011, after years of poor rains, this area of Kenya was devastated by drought. Wells dried up, huge numbers of livestock died, and people killed each other over vanishing grazing land and water. People grew weak from hunger and at least three children in this area died.
During the worst of the drought, Caritas worked with the diocese to distribute food, truck in water, and bring hay for animals that remained alive.
