The violence in Kenya is not letting up. Since Kenya’s disputed election in late December, the people of this country have been subjected to widespread violence, including lootings, the burning of their homes, and physical attacks. 300,000 Kenyans have already left their homes and are now living in displacement camps--100,000 of them are children.
UNICEF is on the ground assessing the situation and distributing food, water, and medical supplies. $6.6 million dollars are urgently needed to help the displaced women and children. The funds are needed for basics like food and shelter, as well as for keeping children and women safe, and to set up schools and play centers for children.
