With severe drought gripping many parts of East Africa, many are facing starvation.

Grandmother Circles US and the Consociates of the Sisters of St. Joseph Carondelet were able to send the Marit Women’s Group $800 to purchase food  supplies. Here’s an update from Mary Lieta:

“We have now purchsed a huge consignment of maize and are selling at a reduced priced. To the very needy, we are giving portions for free. It is very satisfying to see the smiles on the people’s faces as they come to buy. That has replaced the pain we used to see on the buyers’ faces. We too are so glad to be in a position to help. I have attached a picture of our maize in the store.”

If you are able to donate additional funds, they will be sent immediately to Kenya and put to work by Grandmother Circles to relieve hunger. Donate
