The American government has extended Sh16 billion ($126 million) to Kenya to fight the effects of drought and boost food security, days after the official visit of US First Lady Jill Biden.
The grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is expected to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of more than 1.3 million Kenyans who are most affected by the drought, especially in the arid and semi-arid counties.
