Kenya crisis: How you can help

We have created an emergency fund during this time. We are trying to raise $10,000 for this fund. These are the needs:

1) The cost of food has gone sky high (e.g. a head of cabbage has gone from 10Ksh to 80Ksh), so we need funds to purchase at the higher rate.
2) Don and Amy just spent approx. $1,300 to buy food at a supermarket in Nairobi and have it flown up by AIM air to the Eldoret strip. They are hoping to do this multiple times. Julius was able to pick up the food and transport it safely to Ilula through the mob roadblocks.
3) At the Ilula training center, we have been caring for approx 200 women and children from the community. We are using the maize that we harvested from the orphanage to feed people from the community and will eventually need to replenish the supply.
4) We have been hiring some men from the community as guards to protect the training center day and night.
5) We have needed to purchase many phone cards for communication with the police and each other.

Those are kind of vague so we don’t have specific amounts, and we don’t know how long it will last. But it is the best that we can do right now.
