Veronica: I see the future with hope,
but not yet.

"When my daughter is hungry she cries much. She keeps on calling my name, 'Mummy, Mummy, I need some food'. I'm very sorry for her because I can't provide food for her."

Veronica, a 36-year-old mother, talks about daily life in rural Kenya. Veronica is HIV positive and too weak to work. Her daughter Musyawa means everything to her, but drought is killing the food crops and she can't ease Musyawa's hunger without help.

Veronica needs to take her HIV medication every day so that she can be around to see her daughter grow up, but she can't take the drugs on an empty stomach. This is why the food aid that you can help us distribute is so vital.

Food for work: Building dams for the future

In Makueni, Kenya, most people rely on rain-fed crops for food and income. Years of drought have left many families destitute and in need of food aid to survive.

World Vision, in partnership with the UN World Food Programme, recently started a food for work program in the area. Community members are building a dam, and receive grain, oil and legumes in return for their work.

The project means families have the food they need to survive in the short term, while they build a reliable source of water that will benefit the whole community in the long term. Future generations will be able to use the dam to irrigate their crops and cope better with drought conditions.
