Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for supporting SYSC's COVID19 response.
As the pandemic hit Kenya in the spring, we closed our centre and put our programs on pause so we could help community members here to slow the spread - no easy task in a place without running water and where soap is costs too much for most.
The funds you helped us raise went toward soap. washing water, education and much-needed food for vulnerable families in the Shauri Yako, Manjego and Kiawara informal settlements.
Thank you for contributing generously, even when your own lives may have been challenged in unprecedented ways. Because of you:
Our campaign also attracted the support of the Project Solution, a past partner of ours, which funded the installation of a large-scale community water tank and handwashing station that will have long-term benefits to residents here.
As of July, the infection rate has started to fall - though social distancing rules remain and continue to challenge those who live in the congested living conditions here. We are continuing to support the community with health information, including through a weekly radio show and this new video.
Thank you once more for helping marginalized families get through this pandemic.
Stay safe and well,
Joe
