250,000 displaced persons, 500.000 people depending on food aid, hundreds of dead people and no sign of peace yet. Please support the Kenyan people and donate, for example to the Kenyan Red Cross. Please look up the appeal and the Bank account details on the Red Cross’s homepage.

Please feel free to post other Donation Programs for Kenya by reliable Organisations in other countries, so that fees for international transactions do not apply. Post only links to the pages though, do not post any Bank account details here, and of course double check the organisation before you donate.

Call for help in setting up Rape crisis centers
Urgent Action Fund-Africa has supported The Nairobi Women’s Hospital to set up 4 crisis response centres (Women’s Gender Recovery Unit s) in Mathare, Huruma, Jamhuri Park and Kibera to provide , shelter, security, and more importantly medical and psychological care to rape victims who are unable to access the services because the informal settlements have been sealed off by security personnel and violent protestors. The hospital is now FULL , it has dealt with 19 cases in the last 24 hours. There are 75,000 displaced people in Jamhuri park alone, majority of whom are women and children. Total numbers of displaced Kenyans has topped 300,000 and growing daily.
Other contributors to this initiative include St Johns Ambulance and Red Cross who have provided an ambulance and tents respectively. The Red Cross is also providing food to the IDP’s . We are appealing for more funds. We need Kenya Shillings 5.8 million (USD 90,000). UAF-Africa is contributing $10,000. We see the action as contributing to protecting the lives of the most marginalized in our communities; women and girls living in informal settlements. Those who are most vulnerable and subject to gender based sexual violence in this situation of crisis.
