Turkana county residents have been losing lives over hunger. After the Kenyan government denied the fact that lives are being lost, local musician Akothee, stepped out to support them.
In her support, Indomie Kenya has given her 10,000 pieces of Indomie to feed 10, 000 people in Turkana. Akothee has earned praise from Kenyans on social media for her efforts to alleviate the suffering of people ravaged by drought in Turkana County.
Many have thanked Akothee for marshalling resources that resulted in trucks of much-needed food and water landing in Lodwar. While expressing gratitude to all donors who responded to her social media call, Akothee disclosed that the trucks ferrying tonnes of food and over 10,000 litres of water made over 300 kilometers to reach the people in need.
“Lodwar is the capital city of Turkana, we can’t ignore the fact that we always have needy families around us, even in your village, especially the elderly, women and children, so we can’t just pass them like that, our food arrived this morning.
I have taken with me 10,000 litres of water too! Remember there is a capacity we can’t carry due to the roads and to avoid getting stuck in the interiors , so we were advised to take them on trips, so we offload the big lorries in Lodwar town, and only pack what we need for the day , I love you much Be blessed, together we can change something.”
