Kenya is suffering its worst drought for four decades.
The province of Garissa, in the north-east of the country, is one of the worst affected areas. In the absence of rainfall, entire herds of cattle are dying of thirst, the land is drying up and cereal prices have soared, plunging families into food insecurity. If the situation does not improve, famine is likely to set in, with catastrophic consequences for the population.
Children are particularly at risk from malnutrition. The lack of food slows down their physical and mental development. It weakens their immune systems, making them more susceptible to disease.
To combat malnutrition in Garissa and strengthen the resilience of families, Tdh is setting up a programme focusing on the prevention and treatment of malnutrition in children under 5, pregnant women and nursing mothers.
