The community and caretakers of the orphans you support with your donations are very proud of you and joyous. This time we managed to thank you all through that short email. Today we say big thank you.
We purchased 5 footballs, 2 for boys and girls respectively and one still kept. We managed to buy food stuffs and provided to 100 orphans with flour, beans, soap and fuel for cooking. Happiness was all over! This was not enough to give for under SACRENA alone the problems are there with us, we have camps of the dipalced people which through your support we worked with the Red Cross and got 2 big tents.
We do not have enough resources to handle the over 18,000 gathering at SACRENA in need of medication, food, security, temporary shelter, water and children to go back to school. We cant unless we get help. What we have done is to provide counselling services, build 2 toilets and make appeal to you our donors to help support us through this situation. This time the GlobalGiving sent us your donations of $1,744 USD. This money helped us alot.
As you know they looted all office (stationaries and properties) at SACRENA and burnt the offices in name that we are supporting minority groups, we managed to pay office rent for the period of 3 months (January-March) we are now happy to have office just to the opposite where we used to be. The tents are just infront of the office. This money also we purchased schools uniforms for 50 orphans, 20 boys and 30 girls this was not enough to buy like shoes for it was bit little.
We ask you to continue your donations and to communicate through email or call us directly. We love you and appreciate you and your support for needy Kenyans. After the flawed Kenyan elections Kenyans felt that their expectations were not met when they voted for change and were shortchanged. The announcement of the winer to looser and loser winner was a reaction and responce that have now claimed more that 2000 lives, left hundreds of thousand displaced, properties destroyed but this is not enough for millions af Kenyans now suffer for insecurity, no basic needs, no health care and children go to school but most teachers are not seen.
"I am just from school and heard them killing our neighbours and killed 4 of my relatives...we need Kenya of all tribes. If the GlobalGiving donors can support this like they gave us uniforms, food and build toilts to us then i know we shall be ok." -- Jane, age 14.
Kenya needs your prayers and help to the needy. We welcome your more contributions and support.
