COVID-19 Appeal For Women On The Frontline

For many people living in marginalised communities in Kenya, the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic is an additional life threatening crisis that requires urgent response. Stay at home orders are extremely difficult when living in overcrowded slum communities, and when relying on daily casual labour to earn enough money for food and rent.
