On January 8, the Loisaba Community Conservation Foundation (LCCF) in partnership with the Loisaba Community Trust (LCT) and Pankaj, distributed 500 food packages to the most vulnerable families within the Ewaso community. A total of 1,500 households benefited from the food packages.

The Ewaso community is still facing extremely challenging times due to severe drought, which has impacted the region for over three years. The drought has not only affected the community’s food supply, but also the livelihoods of the community members who rely on livestock as their main source of income. The food prices have doubled while the market for livestock has remained very low due to livestock death driven by the drought.

LCCF will continue working on food distribution efforts to provide further relief to the Ewaso community. If you are interested in donating to LCCF’s next food distribution event, please visit the Please Donate tab. One hundred percent of all donations to LCCF will go directly to this initiative.
