Covid Emergency Response Update

IAFR is partnering with United Refugee and Host Churches (URHC) in Kakuma to provide emergency food assistance to vulnerable people. URHC reached out to us in late May to see if we could help them with this need. Within a couple of weeks, God provided! We are thankful to our IAFR partners that were quick and generous in their response to this need (including National Presbyterian Church (Washington D.C.), Awaken Community Church (St. Paul, MN), and a private donor.
So IAFR wired $5,250 to URHC in June. We received a report and several photos from URHC this week.
Emergency food assistance was provided for 82 households that included 625 people. The maize flour, rice, beans, sugar and cooking oil will meet their need for food for the coming month.
We hope to send further assistance in August, assuming that God will continues to provide for as long as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to affect the economy and there is need for emergency food assistance. Please pray with us to that end.
