Esther Kilonzo. is a 67-year old widow, left jobless and destitute since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in Kenya
Curfews and county-lockdowns have resulted in soaring unemployment, which have left the 4 million habitants of Nairobi’s slums and daily-wage earners more destitute than ever before.
Kenya has never needed your support more than now. We understand that it can be difficult to know how to help or who to trust. That’s why we wanted to write to you and let you know what our determined team of volunteers has been doing.
Since 22nd March 2020, Team Pankaj has worked to save the lives of the most vulnerable Kenyans in Nairobi. Our vision is to ensure that the communities most impacted by COVID-19 – the daily-wage earners, handicapped, elderly and orphaned — don’t starve during this time. Working in partnership with community leaders, and with the approval of the COVID Response Task Force appointed by the Government of Kenya, we aim to distribute survival hampers to all 200 of Nairobi’s slums, reaching as many families as possible.
We run our operation with utmost efficiency, leveraging economies of scale. A donation of 1500ksh, for instance, enables TeamPankaj to feed a family for two weeks. The time to save a fellow Kenyan is now. Every and any shilling you can provide will ensure that a person can survive the day.
So, imagine the funds you donated helped a 2-year old eat that day. Imagine a father of four eating enough to go back out the next day and hustle for work. Imagine Esther saying thank you as she washes her hands and sits down for dinner. You gave them dignity. You gave them hope for a better tomorrow.
Since 22 March: TeamPankaj has reached 36,000 families, feeing 180,000 people, yet this is only 5% of demand
