Kenyan Crisis
Displaced families in the worst-affected areas urgently need food supplies. Please help provide life-saving support to families devastated by the crisis in Kenya.
A power sharing agreement between President Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga was signed on 28 February. Concern is responding in a number of areas.
The agreement will lead to the formation of a coalition government. This is expected to end the two-month old political crisis that rocked Kenya.
The violence and turmoil that followed the disputed December 2007 election led to the death of more than 1,000 people. More than 500,000 people have been displaced.
Concern’s response
Concern is working with local partners in several areas, including the Nairobi slums, North Rift Valley, and Kisumu slum areas in Nyanza province, to help displaced people recover and rebuild their lives. For the next few months Concern’s objective will be to provide those people impacted by violence and displacement with support. This will hopefully ease both their immediate and long term suffering.
