A huge sigh of relief is almost audible from all parts of the country after a terrifying post-election period.
As usual, GG supporters came in their droves to support us in this trying moment. At a time when all the shops were closed, streets deserted and mayhem reigning, GEMINI volunteers were moving from camp to camp, providing much needed assistance.
"I had no idea that a packet of sugar could come in handy!!" exclaims Mwikali, an internally displaced person at the showground, where over 4,000 people are still stranded.
"Its during a time like this that we appreciate the value of friends. What GEMINI has done cannot be quantified!" she adds.
She was among the 320 persons that benefitted from GlobalGiving donations.
Besides providing basic commodities like sanitary towels, beans, sugar and drugs, we were able to provide psychosocial support to affected families. We also organized outreach activities, including sports, Fashion show, board games and a lot of entertainment.
We are planning to initiate peace-building activities in the affected communities in the next few weeks.
Thanks so much for all your support!!
