What Waya is doing to respond to the Kenya emergency

Food relief
Resilience building

Waya is reaching almost 535,000 people with life-saving food assistance in 12 drought-affected counties. We are expanding nutrition programmes from 8 to 15 counties, preventing and treating malnutrition in 570,000 young children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.

Waya is supporting water and soil-conservation measures, tree planting, creation of farm ponds, and other livelihood activities that build resilience to drought. Seasonal cash transfers have also been extended for 370,000 people, so that they aren’t forced to sell their assets in order to eat for the day.

FOOD SECURITY INITIATIVE IN KENYA
BY THE DIASPORA COMMUNITY

Food Insecurity is raising sharply affecting the poor disproportionately and raising social
tensions. In East Africa alone estimated 55 million people will be acutely food insecure up from
41 million in 2021.
How can governments, development partners, community service organizations partner to
deploy SHORT, MEDIUM and LONG term response to boost food and nutrition securely (World
Bank conference, Nov 2022).
These support to farmers include better farm practices, management training, extension
service support, farm machinery and equipment support, farm inputs, access to finance or
credit, market advisory and linkages. The various sponsors of this initiative have offered to help
farmers improve food production in the upcoming seasons.
The food production stakeholders and value chains are important in ensuring that all adequate
measures are carried out to sustain better farming practices, effective storage, minimal waste
management, and delivery to processing locations. In addition distribution to warehouses,
wholesale and retail stores provides safe agricultural and livestock products to consumers and
end users. (Farm to Fork).
