Emergency Food Assistance & Crisis Response

Emergency Relief & Food Security

Providing urgent food assistance and seasonal humanitarian support to vulnerable families affected by poverty, drought, and displacement.

Programme overview

When drought, conflict or displacement strikes, families need food within days, not months.

When drought, conflict or displacement strikes, families need food within days, not months. We register households digitally, issue scannable QR cards, and distribute food baskets, hot meals and Ramadan iftar so that every ration reaches the family it was meant for.

In Kenya, this programme is delivered by our Kenya Country Office with field teams in Nairobi, Dadaab, working alongside community committees and local leaders in Nairobi, Garissa, Wajir.

Accountable by design. Every beneficiary is registered and verified, and every distribution is logged with photos and GPS so that donors can trace their gift from pledge to delivery.
