Kenya Flooding Response | Healing Hands International

Hundreds of Thousands Displaced

Kenya is experiencing severe flooding caused by torrential rains. With over 200 deaths and hundreds of thousands of people displaced, the flooding has been particularly devastating for a large majority of the country.

HHI is blessed to have many partners throughout Kenya that have been able to act swiftly in providing basic aid and necessities for those who have lost everything. This immediate response aid includes items such as: food, hygiene items, blankets, and mattresses. Our Disaster Response program is working towards the recovery effort and is helping to rebuild.

Please join us in prayer for the quick restoration of normalcy and for the wisdom of local leaders and humanitarian workers as they navigate the aftermath of this disaster. Additionally, we invite you to give as we prepare to rebuild. All donations received will be directly allocated to support these recovery efforts.

Stories from the field

“When the rain came, the house that I live in with my children collapsed. My children and I now stay in a tent near the market because we do not have anywhere else to go to. I am very happy for Healing Hands International because we have received food that we are going to eat and blankets to keep us warm. We are very grateful, I will sleep well today for the first time since the incident.”

“The floods affected my family badly but thankfully we are all alive. The waters destroyed everything we had. It came so fast that we couldn't rescue anything except our lives. I am thankful to Healing Hands International for coming to share in our pains and share the relief aids, we know that it was a natural disaster and there is nothing anyone can do about it. God bless you for coming to bless us.”

“Everything we had in our home was swept away suddenly by the floods. The house we were staying in is no longer habitable and unfortunately, we cannot go to work to provide for our families as usual. I am very thank today to receive these things from Healing Hands International, it will go along way to help us in this situation.”

“The situation is deplorable, my household was flooded, I lost almost everything I own. Items like bedding, schoolbooks, uniforms, and shoes have all been destroyed by the floodwater.”
