Geneva, 11 April 2006
Dear Colleagues,
Please find enclosed this revised appeal for AFKE61 Revision 1 which now includes Christian Aid Kenya and with all the members from the previous appeal. In light of the current famine disaster in Kenya, Christian Aid has decided to present an ACT appeal on behalf of two of its partners in Kenya (Northern Aid & ACK-Ukambani Christian Community Services). Given the magnitude of the problem and the limited available resources, the ACT CO together with Christian Aid is appealing to our donors to ensure that the emergency interventions continue.
Presently, ACT members Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Lutheran World Federation (Dept. for World Service) - Kenya/Sudan (LWF/DWS), Lutheran World Relief (LWR), Christian Aid, Church World Service (CWS) and the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) and their partners are responding to the situation or have began to assist drought-affected communities in their respective working areas.
ACT members and their partners plan to carry out relief/rehabilitation activities focused on supplementing and filling gaps of the Government of Kenya/World Food Program and other NGO efforts in the specified districts. Interventions include providing life-saving interventions that will address the immediate food and water needs of the most-affected communities, food distribution, water tankering for domestic and livestock use as well as borehole drilling and or repair in key specific areas of Mandera, Elwak, Kajiado, Narok, Makueni, Kitui, Taita Taveta, Tana River and Turkana Districts.
Project Completion Date: 31 Jan 2007; LWF and NCA - Presbyterian Church of East Africa 31 Dec 2006, Christian Aid Ukambani CCS 30 September 2006, Christian Aid – Northern Aid 31 July 2006
