Drought in Kenya

Our next Live-Exchange between Kenya and Germany.

Lydiah Nyambura a citizen of Baringo, an arid county in North and part of „Seed Savers Network Kenya“ says: „Farmers and Baringo population are experiencing hunger as they depend on rainfall. Animals are dying and people are depending on relief food. If the situation won’t change more action on food provisions needs to be taken“.

The current situation in Kenya, April 2022 – 3.1M people face starvation, 1.5M livestock have died and children in 8 counties are at risk of malnutrition.

Drought and other climatic extremes are major factors contributing to vulnerability to food insecurity. This threatens the lives and livelihood of all living things, especially in dry areas in the northern part of the country.

Our „Kenyan-German-Dialogue“ will discuss the current situation in a Live-Call on Monday the 6th of June 14pm – 16pm (CET) 15pm – 17pm (EAT). „Seed Savers Network Kenya“ and „The Global Field“ from Berlin will facilitate a dialogue between Kenyan and German stakeholders. We aim to bring people together who can interface the topics of drought and food insecurity from a personal or professional perspective with a prospects on finding common solutions.
