Bryan Burr, field director for Convoy of Hope in Kenya, confirms reports that the crisis caused by the drought, famine and war is getting worse by the day. Hundreds of thousands of refugees from neighboring countries have flooded into Kenya. Already, nearly 30,000 children have died.

“The situation is dire and will be long lasting,” says Burr. “We need help and we need it fast.”

Convoy of Hope began working in Kenya eight years ago. There, we regularly feed children and provide sustainability tools and education to communities. To facilitate this work, Convoy of Hope has a warehouse, personnel, vehicles, food and supplies in Kenya.

We have wired funds to Burr’s team to purchase more food and supplies in country. They have been fast at work distributing it to Somali refugees and to Kenyans who are also reeling because of the lack of food and water.

In addition, a shipping container with 120,000 meals will soon clear customs in Kenya. Several more containers filled with life-sustaining food are in Convoy of Hope’s logistics pipeline that ends in the hands of refugees and others who are suffering.

Convoy of Hope is committed to helping those in need for the long haul.
