"Heading" the groceries back to Kibera
Each allotment given on this day was roughly enough to feed a family of 6 for a week. All during this day, we had huge crowds of people gathering at the gates pleading for food. After the post election violence most of the stores and shops in Kibera were destroyed. The threat of violence caused many people to be too afraid to leave the slums or even their homes for many days. Consequently, their were hundreds of thousands of hungry people. Distribution to the most vulnerable -- women, children, and disabled became a grave concern. Fortunately things are beginning to rebound.
