Drought in Turkana, Northern Kenya – Your help is needed

Kenya, News, Poor, Relief and Development
On March 7th BBC News reported ‘The Turkana region in northern Kenya is facing one of the worst droughts in living memory with more than 1m people in need of food aid'. The situation is very serious. Edward Buria, who oversees the Newfrontiers churches in Kenya, agrees. He has launched an appeal for a further £80,000 to continue heloping the population in the communities in which he is working.
