Can you Help!

Diseases, hunger, and poverty are among the most formidable challenges in our societies. Yet, the achievement of physical and mental well-being of the people is crucial to human development.

 

Healthcare, Medicine, Food, Water and Income. Every Kenyan deserves them. Every child, youth, woman and man needs them.

 

But I know millions of people in Kenya desperately short of the five. They and their families, communities are inhabitants of rural and sub-urban areas. And I can tell you that, by any time you reach them, they have very little with them. They are weak, skinny, emaciated and hopeless. They are suffering from multiple diseases – malaria, nutrition, HIV/AIDS and ophthalimia among others. And the stress in their lives makes the youth, men and women sink into anti social behaviour. Their girls and women become unsafe and turn to prostitution whereas the boys and men migrate to urban areas with breaking inflation.

 

Without prompt donations from rich nations, malnutrition rolls and vulnerability soars, and donors end up paying more for food airlifts and therapeutic feeding programmes. The cost of suffering and dying is expensive, leading to trauma and agony. The cost of funerals and caring for orphans makes it difficult for families to cope. Lack of food and medicines means the diseases kill faster and the combination of HIV/AIDS and hunger pushes families deeper into poverty. The number of the sick and starving is increasing everyday.
