In response to the drought in Kenya, Canadian Foodgrains Bank is going to deliver over 5,000 metric tonnes of maize, beans, yellow split peas, and edible oil. The value of the food aid will be approximately $2.7 million.
Sixty percent of the food will be purchased in the region, in areas not affected by drought. The rest will be shipped from Canada.
Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 13 church-based agencies.
