Drought Crisis in Northern Kenya Deepens as Majmuatul Khairat Intensifies Food Relief Efforts

Severe drought conditions continue to grip Garissa County and vast regions of Northern and Eastern Kenya, leaving behind dry riverbeds, empty dams, and struggling pastoral communities. The prolonged lack of rainfall has led to worsening food insecurity, livestock losses, and rising humanitarian needs. In many areas, families are travelling longer distances in search of water, while livestock — a primary source of livelihood — continues to weaken under extreme conditions. What is visible in Garissa is a reflection of a wider crisis unfolding across multiple counties in Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands. In response to the growing emergency, Majmuatul Khairat has intensified its humanitarian operations through the #FeedAFamily campaign. The organisation’s teams are actively on the ground conducting surveys, identifying vulnerable households, compiling verified beneficiary lists, and continuously monitoring affected locations to ensure relief reaches those most in need. Beyond food distribution, Majmuatul Khairat has also been expanding water access interventions, including borehole initiatives aimed at providing long-term relief to drought-prone communities. The current campaign focuses on mobilising support from donors and well-wishers to provide essential food rations during this critical period. The objective is simple but urgent — restore dignity, reduce hunger, and support families struggling to survive under extreme climatic conditions. As drought continues to strain both livelihoods and resilience, faith-based and community-led organisations are playing a vital role in bridging humanitarian gaps.
