🌟 **Helping Hands from France: Bringing Hope to Kenyan Flood Victims** 🌟
Hello, amazing friends! 😊 Today, we have some heartwarming news to share with you! France is stepping up to help families in Kenya who have been hit hard by floods. Let's dive into the details and discover how this special nutrition programme is making a difference! 🌍💖
**The Big Plan**
France has launched a Sh100 million programme to support families affected by floods in Migori, Homa Bay, Kisumu, and Busia counties in Kenya. These floods have forced many families to leave their homes and live in camps, which is super tough.
**Challenges of Flooding**
Floods not only make people move out of their homes, but they also bring health problems like malnutrition. This means kids don't get enough healthy food, and they might not grow as they should. 😢 But don't worry, because there is hope!
**How Is France Helping?**
France, with the help of UNICEF and the Kenya Red Cross, is providing flood victims with money and food support. Families receive extra food, and kids who are very malnourished get a special peanut butter paste. 🍲🥜 This paste is like a superhero food—it's packed with all the good stuff kids need to gain weight and get healthy again!
**Teamwork Makes the Dream Work**
UNICEF and the Kenya Red Cross are partnering up to ensure that this programme reaches those in need. They've identified the regions that need the most help, making sure no one is left behind.
**Learning About Nutrition**
Parents are also getting cool lessons on how to check if their kids are growing well. They're learning to use simple tools, like taking measurements with their hands, to keep track of their child's health. This means parents can fight malnutrition head-on!
**The Numbers Speak**
In Homa Bay County, 13% of children are stunted (which means they’re not growing as tall or strong as they should) and 2% suffer from wasting, a serious form of malnutrition. With the new programme, we hope these numbers will go down! 📉
**Words from the French Ambassador**
Arnaud Suquet, the French Ambassador to Kenya, shared France's strong dedication to global nutrition. He believes this programme is a game-changer for children facing severe malnutrition.
**Building Strong Communities**
The main goal? To help communities stand strong against the challenges of flooding and improve their health in the long run. France, UNICEF, and the Kenya Red Cross are making sure families have the support they need to bounce back better and stronger! 💪🏽
