Disaster risks in Kenya are exacerbated by an array of factors, including shifting demographics, socio-economic conditions, unplanned urbanization, development in high-risk areas, environmental degradation, climate change, as well as the threat of epidemics and pandemics. These elements collectively pose a severe threat to the sustainable development of the country, as well as the lives and livelihoods of countless individuals.
The Eliud Owalo Foundation, with its primary focus on the welfare of children and their families, stands ready to respond to the humanitarian imperative during such crises through its Disaster Response program.
