Dear Friends,
Annually, the Nyalenda community in Kisumu Kenya faces devastating floods that destroy homes and livelihoods, impacting those who already live on less than a dollar a day. The James Were Foundation has set an ambitious goal of rebuilding over 50 houses. To date, we have successfully completed 12 houses and are currently moving foward with the 13th.
as we approach another rainy season, we are working tirelessly to enhance our efforts and protect the community from further devastation. However, we cannot achieve this without your involvement.
we remain hopeful that with your continued support, we can make significant progreds in providing safe housing for thosr in neec. Together,we can create a brighter future for the residents of Nyalenda.
Thank you for your committment and support.

General update
By James Oyugi Were | Project Leader
Dear Friends and partners,
This year has been challenging as Several parts of Kenya has been experiencing heavy rains and flooding affecting livelihoods. It has completely affected farming,destroyed houses/households, destroyed schools and affected lives and to the extent of causing various diseases.
This has been so tough as our people do not have meaningful jobs and stable income. Some members of the community have their houses swept by flood, some have got their farms swept leaving them without hopes and most schools have been affected and students have stayed home.
It has been very tough challenge rebuilding houses who have been destroyed by floods. Around 100 families are affected and but it will take quite effort to fulfill this dream of building houses to the affected. We started this project but we did not succeed as we faced financial constraint.
We stil needl more partners and friends to help bridge this gap.
Nyalenda,Kano,Nairobi and Mombasa towns were greatly affected not forgetting to mention the three slums within Kisumu city.

Dear friends,
Kisumu Kenya has been experiencing a lot of rainfall as predicted by the weather forcasters. The rains started last year around October and has continued to date.
Nyalenda slums which is the second biggest informal settlement within our town has been experiencing more problems as it is a small place with several people living in shantues and mud houses which are easily destroyed when it is flooded.
The rains has affected several families leaving most of them without houses,farms to grow their crops and destroyed properties.
JWF has been in the fore front in putting up houses for the flood victims. We did two houses last year and we plan to build more this year. We still need more commitments and partnership to make it happen.
JWF will ensure that we put up decent houses to help shelter the affected people. This will help prevent diseases and will help put the children back to school..
We thank you each and every time.God bless you.
