Some 3.75 million Kenyans have been affected by drought and food shortages as the crisis in the Horn of Africa intensifies. ACF’s teams are scaling up emergency nutrition programs to help the estimated 50,000 to 65,000 children in need of treatment for deadly acute malnutrition, and our food security and water & sanitation programs are providing immediate relief for tens of thousands across the country. ACF is racing to expand its response before conditions deteriorate further.
