A Call for Humanitarian Relief -- WIT-LA Partners with OWIT
Nairobi and Kenyan Red Cross
Following the announcement of the results for the Kenya General Election on Sunday 30 December 2007, sporadic violence erupted countrywide between various communities resulting in loss of lives, injuries, looting, destruction of property and displacement of thousands of people. Members of our sister chapter in Nairobi have experienced tragic losses and are working to alleviate the suffering of those around them. OWIT Nairobi and Kenya Red Cross have issued an appeal for assistance to respond to the humanitarian crisis. If you would like to make a donation please visit www.kenyaredcross.org.
