The Grass is Hurting

Life has taken a dramatic twist in Kenya after the announcement of the presidential results which were hotly contested. Each side of the divide is claiming victory which leaves the citizen deeply polarized and ethnically divided.

As the African saying goes, “when two elephants fight it is the grass that gets hurt” this saying is true now to the residents of Kibera. We had the privilege of visiting the displaced citizen in Kibera slums where thousands of people are homeless; they have pitched camp in the Nairobi international show ground. Lillian is a young girl aged two and half years is a victim whose parents have been displaced and are spending chilling nights in a make shift camp.

The problem began when they were told to vacate their home since they belong to a different ethnic group that lives in the area. Their house was torched and her family could not salvage anything. Lillian’s family represents a bigger population of more than 500,000 thousand of Kenyans who have been displaced as a result of this post election violence.

The Nuru Media Ministry staff has taken the forefront in trying to help most of the displaced people at the Jamhuri show ground. We are kindly asking for your prayers and donations to try and help the human crisis we are facing. Help us give hope to the hopelessness victim.
