The east Africa food crisis is leaving millions of people in Nairobi’s slums in urgent need of help. Concern Worldwide is there, but your support is urgently needed.
Despite being located in the centre of a drought area in Kenya, Moyale has been much less affected by the emergency than its neighbouring villages. This is thanks to the work Concern has been doing there since 2010.
Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, travelled to east Africa with Concern CEO Tom Arnold. There, she saw the devastating effects of the drought firsthand.
Concern has raised over €3 million from the Irish public for the humanitarian catastrophe in east Africa. This outstanding support is enabling us to increase our emergency response. We are now helping over 500,000 people who have been affected by extreme drought and soaring malnutrition rates.
