Unity with a cause for Humanity

By Elijah Ruto

The Kenya Red Cross Marigat Sub-branch is championing for support to the less fortunate community members during this festive season, through contribution of clothes and foodstuff.

The ongoing move follows their visit to a nearby village famously known as Kivumbini and Kampi Turkana, where they identified that most of the families in those areas live in abject poverty.

“We are mobilizing resources from churches and other well wishers, so far we have visited AIC church, Deliverance church and P.A.G to ensure full participation. We urge citizens of good will to contribute foodstuffs and clothing to help those who are in need.” Said Irene Yemit, Kenya Red Cross Volunteer.

She further said that, the churches have shown support and they are planning to distribute the items on 22^nd December 2013.

“Let us be our brothers’ keepers, know the state in which people are living socially and economically and Look for urgent and available solutions to their problems.” Said Beverlyne Yegon, Volunteer Red Cross, Marigat Sub-branch.

Red Cross volunteers are also disseminating information on HIV and AIDs through churches by showing informative videos to young people.
