If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.

Drought in Kenya

The international standard for water requirements in a disaster is a minimum of nine litres per person per day. In Mueni's case, eight people have just 20 litres for drinking, cooking and washing – an unbelievable situation.

To help deal with this sort of situation, The Salvation Army will be working in partnership with district authorities to deploy water tanks to strategic locations. This is just one of a series of measures that form the response to the famine now facing much of sub-Saharan Africa.
