The British High Commission in Nairobi has pledged an emergency funding of more than KES 140 million to bolster flood relief efforts in Kenya.

The High Commission disclosed that the funds will be channelled through the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) to provide urgent humanitarian aid.

Expressing deep concern for the plight of those affected by the recent spate of extreme weather and flooding, British High Commissioner Neil Wigan emphasized the UK’s unwavering commitment to assisting Kenya during this crisis.

The emergency funds are earmarked to benefit approximately 6,900 households in the hardest-hit regions, providing essential cash assistance. Additionally, UNICEF will utilize the funds to deliver critical health, nutrition, and sanitation services to those in need.
