The reality of the situation is:

a) There are 46 adults and about 20 children
b) About 30 were college students
c) Many have lost their belongings.
d) ALL have lost their jobs.
e) Many MUST register in school (before the end of the week)
f) Many are NOT entitled to certain federal benefits
g) Many may NOT benefit from housing programs.
h) Without a paycheck it is difficult to survive.
i) They have to move on with their lives.

Help for a large group as this one requires not just one  organization, but EVERY Kenyan Organization, Friends of Kenya
organizations, churches, and student association to be their for their country men.

We are worried about the students as:
a) They had already paid their tuition from their meagerly sources.
b) Homeland security say they MUST register and go to school
c) They cannot get "out of college" jobs.
d) They cannot benefit from programs for US Citizens.

The families need about 5,000 dollars/family and every adult may require about 2,000 dollars to start of in their new life.
Students require anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 dollars to survive without work for a semester in their new colleges.

A single individual and organization cannot be everything to everybody, so we suggest that each organization searches their soul, identifies a niche to help, and figure a way of channeling help.

We appeal to the government of Kenya to assist the students

as they cannot benefit from programs restricted to US Citizens.

Presently Kenya Christian Fellowships in America is leading the initiatives. We suggest that other organizations partner
with KCFA (at National Level or a Chapter Level) to account for both in-kind or donations.
