LYA Covid-19 Contribution.
Please support Lamu Youth Alliance in our pledge to provide vulnerable communities with protective gears(mask,gloves)and essential supplies amidst the pandemic.


Due to COVID-19 crisis many families within Lamu County have been placed in a very vulnerable situation.
The restrictions of movement put in place by the government to control the spread of this viral pandemic has compounded the problem of chronic unemployment and lack of opportunities across the country but especially in this coastal region.
At Lamu Youth Alliance we have been tirelessly fighting for many years to protect our youth from turning to violent groups or violent actions to support their basic needs. However, with the added burden of this pandemic, we feel our role within the community to be of extra importance. Hence we've had mass mask distribution of over 1500 people,creation and raise of awereness through our social media platforms(https://www.facebook.com/LamuYouthAlliance/ https://twitter.com/LamuYouth https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC35KmNTNgtCb3CzE7FA4H5g https://www.instagram.com/lamuyouth/ www.lamuyouthalliance.co.ke)and most importantly distribution of essential house supplies to over 180 house holds.
Therefore, we are requesting your generosity to provide such aid to the most vulnerable in the community. We've specifically targeted households that fit the following criteria:
Headed by an elderly person
Single-parent households
Households with an unreliable income source
Households with large family members
We have chosen to focus on food distribution to protect the most vulnerable in Lamu County from developing nutrition-related diseases that may further compromise their immune systems thus adding to the mortality rate.
We wish to reach and provide up to 5000 households with aid packages including;protective gears(maskgloves and sanitizers),rice, beans, cooking oil, ugali and wheat flour.
We hope that you can help to support us and our community by generously donating to help the future of our community.
