Kenya Emergency Appeal
Leaving no one behind
People in Kenya, East Africa, have faced the devastating effects of drought for years. Most recently, the country has experienced heavy rainfall and flooding, further devastating many regions.
For people with disabilities, who are unable to access medical supplies or travel to food aid stations, the danger is even greater. In fact, they are two to four times more likely to die.
Donate now to help us reach those facing crisis.

Our impact
People with disabilities are being pushed to the edge of survival, cut off from the support they desperately need. We are working with local partners to build resilience.
Together, we will make sure that people living with disabilities are not left behind in times of disaster.
With your support, we can help those in the most vulnerable circumstances in times of crisis.

People with disabilities, especially those living in poverty, are among those hardest hit by climate change.
They are four times more likely than those without disabilities to lose their lives as a result of natural disasters.
Help bring hope to families living in crisis
As climate change increases the risk of humanitarian crises, we stay committed to ensuring that people with disabilities are included in any emergency response.
