The Covid-19 pandemic to vulnerable households from the schools under the feeding program. Schools closed earlier due to Covid 19 pandemic in the month of March, 2020, this meant that children could no longer access food in school as before.

A Total of 459 bags of maize and 234 bags of beans (90 kgs per bag) has been distributed to 1,446 vulnerable households representing the 37 primary schools under the project during this Covid-19 season. The
exercise sought to give hope and encourage students from poor families and reduce movement in search of casual labor so that they would concentrate on their studies.

Having food at home has helped to curb the chances of contracting Covid-19 as a result of reduced movement, hence relieving parents the burden of looking for food.

Tana River County was among the most affected counties by floods. Floods phenomenon has become frequent in Kenya occurring every year.

In 2018, Chewele and Nanighi communities who had settled near the river banks had their houses submerged and household items destroyed by water, animals killed, crops destroyed and their farms silted.

Besides, the communities were also hit by water borne diseases such as cholera and also pneumonia to mention but a few. IAS K was able to intervene by distributing the food and non-food items and enabled access to clean safe water that set them up for 6 months.

This was for 1,245 Households (HHs) with 3,735 people within this community.
