Victims of flood in
Kisumu benefit from a 4 day food items distribution
The Distribution of food items to
the victims of flood in parts of Ksm County donated by a group of young Kenyan
men and women living in United States has entered its fourth and final day
today.
The donation that been made by two
Kenyan Lobby groups in America has been distributed by Good Hearted Friends
Organization in Kisumu.
The two Lobby groups known as Kano
Empowerment Association USA and Kavirondo Men Group donated cash worth nearly
half a million towards the purchase of the food items that has been distributed
to about 10,000 families who have been affected by flood following heavy
downpour in parts of Nyando, Muhoroni and Kisumu East Constituencies.
Addressing the media during the last
day of distribution today in Nyando, Director of Good Hearted Friends Organization
Silas Odhiambo says they have been overwhelmed by the number of people who have
been affected by the flood hence needs assistance.
He says they have managed to
re-organize the budget so as to accommodate most of the affected areas in the
three Constituencies.
Odhiambo says there has been a
number of challenges ranging from accessing some of the flooded area but they
have managed to distribute the food items successfully.
Odhiambo appeals to more well-wishers
to come to the rescue of the flood victims, adding that the more rains being
witnessed may still displaced a number of people within Kisumu County.
The team visited more than 20 areas
in the three Constituencies which included Bwanda,Lela,Masogo,Ayweyo RC,Ayweyo Luora,Kolwa,NambaOkana,Nyangoto,Kore,Nyamkebe,
Hongo Ogosa,Kochogo,Kakola Ahero and Wang'aya in Muhoroni among others
where they distributed the food items that included Maize flour,Sugar,Dry maize
among other food items.
The Residents have been thankful for
the initiative, adding a lasting solution should be found about the flood
menace in Kisumu county.
