At the Attention of the Desk Officer / Project Manager - Kenya Area - Horn of Africa:

 

Dear members of DEC who operates in the response to drought in North Kenya, I am contacting you after a suggestion from DEC:
 
we are a small Italian Agency who is promoting drought's response intiatives in Sololo District (north Kenya, border to Ethiopia, 80 km from Moyale town) since January 2011.
 

We are not experts in EMERGENCY, but we have been forced to promote an immadiate response to drought since last January 2011: our beneficiaries (400 orphans and vulnerable children in the district and their families) where already suffering the effects of the drought but there were no other organizations on the field.

We are contacting you to inform how our response have been managed in the past months and where we are exactely operating in north Kenya; still nowaday no international organizations are present in the area to fight the drought, except us, but we are not as much structured as you are and this will make a huge difference in the possible future interventions. We are urgently seeking for a partnership.
 
Please see the attached file for all the basical informations on our actions in Sololo District, also for what concerns the contacts you can activate for possible partnerships with us; the emergency is getting worst and we can't keep on supporting our privately financed programm in the district of Sololo up to the next rains.
 
Any suggestions, critics or proposal to share our actions in the district of Sololo are welcome.
Thanks in advance for your attention,
best regards
