This morning we learned that Lydiah Wangari Githinji, one of our national board members lost three family members in the flood that swept through Mai Mahiu early Monday morning. Lydia’s younger brother’s wife and one of his children were killed in the flood. Her older brother also lost his wife to flood waters.
The death toll continues to rise as rescue workers search for survivors. Information from people on the ground in Mai Mahui set the numbers at 71 dead and over 110 injured. National and international news outlets have told very different stories. Even the cause of the flood is in dispute.
Here is what we know. Many are gone. Many more are hurting, and the people of Kenya need our prayers!
