Kenya: digging for water in the midst of drought
Saturday, September 24, 2011
East Africa is in the midst of a devastating drought, with more than 12 million people needing humanitarian assistance. Fortunately, communities such as Kibauni, Kenya, are finding ways to store more and more water. ACT Alliance members like Church World Service are providing food for those in need and helping local people build amazing local dams.
