A misery solved

Recently 10 people died in my community and hundreds were left homeless in a flush floods that swept my village in Kakamega county. 12 children went missing. The Kenya Red cross came in and helped to search for the 12 missing children and only 3 were found though they had died already. The floods swept away houses, crops and livestock. Separately my 12 year old girls cousin drowned while she was swimming in River Sasala bringing the number eleven. The body was found by the villagers in raging waters. The toilets in the nearby schools were destroyed. The children have been forced to cut short the remidial classes because they cant operate without toilets. The landslides have also destroyed several households. The Kenya Red Cross has been providing food and tents for shelter and has promised to construct ECO toilets to the people of my community. It has also partnered with Kenya National High Ways Authority(KENHA) to reconstruct the roads and bridges destroyed by the rains.
