Finally after so many months we could do a donation drop-off at de Regenboog in Amsterdam. We brought men clothing, showergel, toothpaste, deodorant, socks & sleeping bags, which will be divided in their 7 walk-in houses. In these walk-in houses homeless people can take a shower or have a shave, exchange their clothes, or get social help from experts. They always appreciate our support.

Finally! Our latest container with wheelchairs and medical equipment is on it’s way to Kenya. This morning the container has been picked in Hemer. First going to Duisburg, from there going to Antwerp. On June 2nd expected to leave from Antwerp to Kenya. If everything goes right arrives in Mombasa the first week of July. We keep you posted! We want to thank everyone who donated for this project and also citizen foundation “Wenn’s im Leben Brennt” for their partnership and logistic sponsorship from Germany to Kenya.

The situation in Kenya is growing increasingly worrisome for families. We have been speaking with the government, our local partners, and to community leaders in order to meet the needs that arise during this crisis. Right now, more than anything, we need to help the families NHWC has worked with for years. Vulnerable people living in low income communities are being affected countrywide. Looking for daily bread is difficult (for some, impossible even) as there is less and less work to be found. People with disabilities are at an even greater risk of not only contracting the virus but of marginalization and economic hardship.
…
We want to step in and help. We have donated €3500 to help 50 families of people with disabilities over the next three months. This money will allow us to provide enough items each month to sustain a family of six.
…
We know this is a hard time for everyone. We raised the funds for this project through our DIY mask project so thank you for your continued support. If you can, please consider helping us!

Water filter project update: Thank you so much to all of you who have shown support for our water filter project over the last week. Clean water is so important to good health and hygiene and that’s even more important than ever in these trying times. At the moment we are waiting for a directive from the Kenyan government. We hope to be able to continue with one on one distributions in the coming weeks. We will keep you updated!

We are sad to say that our clinic with The Nathan Hall Williams Centerthis week has been postponed due to corona virus. We are doing our part to follow the directive from the Kenyan government by not holding public gatherings of any kind until further notice. We will however be on call should individuals need emergency healthcare and/or medication and if food security becomes an issue for families in need. We will let you know the new clinic date as soon as we know more. Thank you for all of your support!

The final inspection went great, the container is now almost ready to be shipped. Yesterday it was packed and in the afternoon it was sealed. Shout out to everyone who helped out yesterday : Jens, Martin, Sebastian, Vitali, Trisha, Petra, Todor, Pactrick, Daniel and citizens foundation “Wenn’s im Leben brennt”.  WIB also supporting with logistic funds from Germany to Kenya.

Also big thanks to everyone who supported this project so far.
