Food security
A funded Ramadan appeal that assembled and delivered 1,200 food packs with local volunteers in Garissa.
The project
In the run-up to Ramadan 2026, rising food prices left many families in Garissa making difficult choices between food and school fees. This project brought together local volunteers, a community kitchen and several partner organisations to assemble and deliver food packs containing staple items, fresh produce and household essentials.
The packs were designed with dignity in mind. Families were referred by partner organisations rather than asked to prove hardship publicly, and deliveries were made by volunteers who had received a short briefing on privacy and respectful conduct. Each pack included a simple list of local support services.
The appeal reached its funding goal in February 2026. In total, 1,200 packs were assembled and distributed, with remaining funds allocated to packing materials and delivery costs. A final note on the project page sets out how the budget was used.
The page remains online as a record of the work rather than an active appeal. The team is grateful to every supporter and volunteer, and to the partner organisations who made the referrals and helped with delivery.
The final packs were delivered this week. In total, 1,200 packs reached families across the city through nine partner organisations. A budget summary has been added to the project page.
Volunteers have begun assembling the first packs at the community kitchen. Sessions run twice weekly, with a short briefing on privacy and safe food handling before each shift.
