This initiative is a joint effort started by a group of Kenyans in America and invites other Kenyans of goodwill to come on board and be part of the team to help mobilize resources in support of Kenyans affected by COVID-19. A survey carried out between April 20, 2020, and April 27th, 2020 revealed an urgent need for action in mitigating coronavirus pitfalls in the Kenyan community in America.

Kenyans in America are a community, and we cannot hide our heads in the sand as if all is well. Some have revealed their struggle with anxiety that is being fueled further by the pandemic, struggle with food and housing as a result of loss of income, struggle with the virus, while some have had to deal with all these plus domestic violence above it all. Many expressed an urgent need for proper PPE for work and family use.
The survey painted a grim picture of Kenyans who have reached the end of their tethers and are crying for help having exhausted all their means. In a sample of 124 Kenyans across all US states, 71% of them are directly affected while 29% are not.
