A few months back, eastern Africa was hit by unprecedented rainfall levels leading to many devastating floods. Kenya was one of the countries worst hit, resulting in many lives lost, crops ruined, livelihoods lost, homes, schools and other buildings washed away, roads and bridges crumbled and impassable, and villages cut off.
In Nairobi, CRED Partner IDAK were involved in the response, through provision of food parcels, blankets and other emergency requirements to those who had lost everything as the rivers broke their banks and swept away the homes that were clustered in the nearby informal settlements.
