Casualties caused by flooding in Kenya and Tanzania have been reported on national news outlets. We reached out to our team to ensure everyone in our areas of service are safe. The day after we received the all clear regarding flooding in Kijabe and Nakuru we received this email from our National Director Machaa Samuel.
“Yesterday after my email, we experienced quite a downpour that created havoc in and around Kijabe. The bridge towards Kijabe girls high school was swept, the road to Blasto’s house is covered by debris swept by the floods and a land slide just a few meters from his house. Another land slide on the road to Kijabe from the highway among others. Here are some images of the aftermath. Thanks to God there are no casualties.”
The roads that have been damaged or taken out are the main arteries into Kijabe. Please be praying that the flooding stops, that no additional casualties occur and that the roads can be repaired quickly. All of these requests, if granted will be a miracle, so we know who gets the credit!
