Kenya’s drought: media coverage
Many parts of Kenya have now been without rain for three years.
Child malnutrition
Voice of America recently visited Kenya with Concern. They have written about the troubles facing the Masaai community in Kajiado, southern Kenya:
At least half of the area's cows have died, more cases of child malnutrition are surfacing, and attempts to feed the population are meeting with mixed results.
Both the article and a video about the crisis can be viewed on this page.
Affecting pastoralists
BBC News has also been covering this issue. In this comprehensive article, Will Ross looks at how the drought is affecting the pastoralists in Turkana district in north-west Kenya.

I'm showing your fabulous blog to some trainees - thank you!
I have just come back from Kenya and not only have seen a Maasai village desperately need help afetr losing 220 cattle and left with only 7, but also heavy rains taking place causing flooding and threatening lives. It is only right to help and make people more aware and that is why I am trying to get a job with Concern as we speak!
Thanks.Good. child
