Imagine watching your home get swept away in a flood, or worrying about conflict in neighbouring regions… while you’re just trying to put food on your family’s table.
This is the reality for many families in Kenya right now.
Kenya faces three crises all at once.
Conflict Crisis – The war in Ukraine has slashed wheat exports and caused food prices to skyrocket. This has spilled over into regional conflicts as people desperately try to secure precious food resources.
Climate Crisis – Severe droughts and flooding rains have devastated infrastructure, agriculture, and livestock, plunging Kenya and its neighbouring countries into catastrophe.
Cost of Living Crisis – Kenya has faced record-high inflation. This inflation has significantly increased the cost of living, further straining household budgets.
People are trapped in a deadly Cost of Survival Crisis.
Rising costs are affecting everyone, everywhere. But not equally.
Everyone is feeling the cost of living crisis. But the hardest hit are people with disabilities, living in poverty, in the world’s most disadvantaged communities.
Often the most neglected and vulnerable members of their communities, these people already face greater levels of poverty.
But now, the combined impact of growing conflict, climate change, and the spiralling cost of living are pushing them over the edge.
Urgent donations from kind people like you are the key to survival right now.
What people need: New, sustainable livelihoods.
You can help change everything for people with disabilities living in poverty by helping to provide them with…
- A small grant or loan to start a business.
- Training to learn a skill and earn an income.
- A start-up kit containing everything needed to launch a new business.
CBM teams are on the ground in Kenya. But we can’t reach out to everyone who needs our help without you.
Every day that goes by, the Cost of Survival Crisis worsens. The only way to help people with disabilities living in extreme poverty is to act now.
“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
Hebrews 13:16
