The First Lady of Kenya, Mama Rachel Ruto has today flagged off 300 tons of relief food to support families affected by the prolonged drought in Garissa, Baringo, Laikipia and Samburu Counties.
The First Lady commended the Rotary Club of Parklands and the Sunrise Walkers Club, led by Dr. Rasik Kantaria, for the exemplary commitment to help Kenyans faced by famine.
The first leg of the food distribution which will be done by the Kenya Red Cross has 9 trucks, each loaded with 10 tons of food.
Kenya has experienced the worst drought in 40 years, with some areas missing rain for 5 consecutive seasons. The prolonged drought has greatly affected the arid and semi-arid counties.
Mama Rachel Ruto further urged the partners present to support the President Dr. William Ruto’s target of growing 15 billion trees by 2032.
Climate change is now a climate crisis, and we must respond by planting more trees.
