The Horn of Africa, of which Kenya is a part, has now faced 4 year of failed rains resulting in the worst drought in 40 years. According to the UN’s world food programme 22 million people are at risk of starvation and 4.6 million children are acutely malnourished.

You could bring critically needed relief to malnourished children in Kenya by supporting The Spirulina Project today!

The Spirulina Project  was set up in Kenya during the last famine in 2011. It targets children and mothers experiencing chronic malnutrition, and diseases that they become more vulnerable to as a result, by addressing their dietary and nutritional needs through the use of spirulina.

The world needs to take urgent action if another famine is to be avoided in the Horn of Africa and your support can contribute to a very viable solution in Kenya. A £10 regular donation would ensure one child receives spirulina supplementation every month.

The Spirulina Project has found spirulina to be highly effective in impacting the health of children, often with remarkable results. A small daily dose of spirulina dramatically impacts on the micro-nutrient absorption in the body. Within weeks, noticeable changes can be seen in the children’s growth, weight and psycho-social behaviour. Several recent studies have demonstrated the immune enhancing properties of spirulina also.

Joseph, aged 9 yrs, came to the Spirulina Project with arrested development, both physically and mentally, due to malnutrition. At 9 years of age he was still struggling to talk fluently and had not yet joined school. He has been taking spirulina regularly now for 4 months. He has gained 2 kilograms and his cognition has greatly improved.

The Spirulina Project produces its own spirulina and has already benefitted the health of more than 22,000 beneficiaries like Joseph. Your contribution could make a huge difference to the lives of more children like him.

Ideally we are looking for regular donors who are willing to support the project on a monthly basis. However if that doesn't feel manageable for you we would be very grateful for a one off donation of any amount you feel about to give.
