Welcome new followers. Following in the steps of multiple initiatives over the last 6 years or so, will shortly be updating with two initiatives;

1: Related to the re-emerging famine crisis in the Eastern African region similar to the one in 2011 which we were actively engaged in relief efforts for.
2: Political advocacy/lobbying issues related to the Kenyan Diaspora, especially being an election year. There are some initiatives we are working on along with the Kenya Diaspora Alliance and allies.

Feel free to inbox us a message with any queries. Also looking for volunteers, feel free to email [email protected] .

Best.
