Marsabit Aid for Victims of Conflict and Famine

Together with the Anglican Diocese of Marsabit and Norm and Janelle Gorrie’s ministry, Anglican Aid is supporting internally displaced people and locals experiencing famine in Northern Kenya with food relief and a community shelter.

Escalating tribal violence in the region has led to homes being destroyed. Since the beginning of 2021, more than 100 people have been killed in the conflict. Families have been forced to flee, searching for safety.

Marsabit is now in severe drought, with four failed harvests in a row and fears of a fifth. Food scarcity is widespread.

Norm Gorrie, a CMS missionary from Sydney who works in the area, pleaded for help.

“Communities have been attacked, people killed and wounded, houses torched and people have had to flee.
“It would be real encouragement to them if we were able to assist them with food etc”

 

The local church on the ground is seeking to respond to the desperate needs of their neighbours through food relief given in the name of Jesus.

 

Can you help? Your gift will allow the local church to provide food and support for families fleeing tribal clashes or facing severe famine.

Together, we can see the grace of God overflowing to a world in need.
