East Africa Drought Response

Today, 12.4 million people are in desperate need of assistance in East Africa

In recent years, droughts in Eastern Africa have become frequent , leaving little time for communities to recover

Crops have failed, grazing land has dried up, livestock are dying, and with skyrocketing food prices

people have few options to feed their family

CRWRC is responding in Kenya as well as parts of Ethiopia and Somalia.

CRWRC has been responding to drought conditions in Kenya for nearly a decade

During this crisis, CRWRC’s Kenyan response is targeting the districts of Isiolo, Mbeere, Tharaka, Narok, Kajiado, Turkana, West Pokot, Laikipia, Taita Taveta, and Kilifi
