Rachel Ruto Distributes Food To 1,000 Households Affected By Floods In Kibra

First Lady Rachel Ruto distributed food to more than 1,000 households in Kibra Constituency on Wednesday that are impacted by the ongoing flooding.

The most vulnerable members of society—women and children in particular—are disproportionately affected by the natural disasters that have devastated some areas of the country.

The Chandaria Foundation, the National Government, and the Office of the First Lady worked together to organize the food donation campaign.
