Malakote women weaving prayer matts along the Tana River,
in Northeastern Province (NEP), Kenya
Erica visiting with a group farming group of Somali and Malokote women who live in the community of BulaIftin, in Garissa District, NEP.
Aaron and Erica meeting with Malakote women and elders as part of our CBM Drought Response Assessment, this past week in NEP. Aaron is returning to the drought affected region this coming week with another assessment team, as CBM prepares for its next phase of ministry in NEP. It is encouraging to see these communities working together to grow food along the River -- a source of life in an arid land.
While listening to the stories of mothers struggling to feed their families and find clean drinking water, we heard again and again words of appreciate to God for the compassion and help of Canadians who have helped them and their children through this famine. Please continue to pray for these strong women who walk through this dry and barren place to provide for their children.
