FLOODS

   The Bunyala community has been suffering from floods for a very long time. Being a community rivers that break their banks during rainy seasons it has always faced the dangers of floods and atleast every year lives would be lost property destroyed and houses would be brought down.
    There was a year when the area was worst hit by the floods which killed over fifty people.Children died as they were carried a way by the floods .Houses were destroyed and the people living in this community became completely helpless with no food and tents.While in the midst of this , there came an outbreak of cholera and typhoid.
    Thanks to Red Cross society of Kenya and the government which came in to supply food and tents to this victims. They also diagonised this people of cholera and typhoid  . In the following year the government constructed barriers along the rivers to prevent any cases of overflooding and today this community is living with any fears of floods.
