Kenya Red Cross

Kenya Red Cross, together with @IFRC, is co-hosting the Financial Sustainability Dialogue of the Localisation Alliance at the Boma Hotel in Nairobi, bringing senior leaders from 12 African National Societies and 7 partners from across the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.

Delegates are looking at how African National Societies can build the financial resilience to lead humanitarian action in their own countries as humanitarian funding shrinks.

The dialogue closes in three days' time with the planned adoption of the Nairobi Communiqué on Financial Sustainability.

Among the critical services we are providing in Moyale following displacement is reuniting families separated as they sought safety.

When insecurity broke out across the border, a father fled with his four children while their mother was away visiting relatives.

After two cold nights in the open, they crossed into Kenya, unsure if they would ever see her again.

Eight days later, our Restoring Family Links team found her, and the family has been reunited in Moyale.

We have also reunited a mother with her two children, and our tracing desk continues to help more families reconnect.

Kenya was placed on high alert for Ebola in May, after the outbreak in the DRC.

Kenya Red Cross started preparing straight away.

When the first case was confirmed on 6 October, the groundwork was already in place.

Read what that preparation made possible.
