The post-crisis situation in Kenya
remains critical, and UUSC is mounting an effective response. Your
generous support will enable UUSC to direct assistance to those
whose human rights have been further eroded. Please donate now to the UUSC-UUA Kenya Crisis Fund.
An estimated 255,000 displaced people have crowded into
insufficiently equipped sites, without adequate access to food,
water, medicines, and other supplies. Another 250,000 people who
have not been displaced are in need of food, water, and other
services.
Areas throughout the country are being strained by serious shortages
of fuel, water, food, and other commodities due to closed ports and
the paralyzed transportation system. Because Kenya also serves as
the regional hub for trade and the flow of relief supplies, the
crisis impacted vital humanitarian work in Uganda, southern
Sudan, and the Congo.

In order to help us respond, UUSC asks our members and supporters to give to the UUSC-UUA Kenya Crisis Fund.
Through UUSC’s long-term and ongoing work in Kenya, we have
established relationships with grassroots organizations from a
variety of social sectors. In collaboration with these groups, we
are reaching out to vulnerable communities.
An expert delegation led
by UUSC President Charlie Clements and Programs Director Atema Eclai
visited Kenya January 19-25 to assess the
humanitarian crisis by meeting with UUSC partners, community members
and leaders, and humanitarian specialists.
Please help now! Members and supporters who would like to support
UUSC’s efforts to help the people of Kenya are encouraged to
donate to the UUSC-UUA Kenya Crisis Fund online,
or by mailing checks payable to “Kenya Crisis Fund” to:
