Praying for rain in Marsabit

This year’s drought in east Africa has created the world’s worst food crisis. It is having a devastating effect on communities in northern Kenya who rely on cattle and rain to live. 

Concern Worldwide is providing lifesaving assistance to pastoralist communities devastated by the drought in Marsabit, northern Kenya.
