⛑️ A week after the World Humanitarian Day, France in Kenya reaffirms its commitment to the principles of humanitarian aid : humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independance.
During a working roundtable hosted yesterday with several major humanitarian partners, the French Ambassador to Kenya and Somalia @arnaud_suquet recalled that France has committed €5️⃣8️⃣ million in humanitarian aid to Kenya and Somalia to tackle food insecurity; to support school feeding programmes; to assist women who are victims of gender-based violence; and to protect vulnerable populations in refugee camps.
▶️ In 2026, 🇫🇷 will fund two new projects:
1️⃣ In 🇰🇪 , we are renewing our long-lasting partnership with @Food4Education, which will make it possible to feed 10,600 children daily in Nairobi and Kakamega counties.
2️⃣ In 🇸🇴, we will support the crisis affected communities in Jubaland by integrated nutrition, food assistance and resilient livelihood support, in partnership with Somali Lifeline Organisation and Secours Islamique Français.
The EU Humanitarian Aid office has been present in Kenya for 30+ years, supporting Kenya & the region in #Humanitarian & #crisis response.
