On January 27, 2021, Ambassador Jacek BazaÅski, at the invitation of the Kenya Office of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), visited Mukuru kwa Njenga - an informal settlement located on the outskirts of Nairobi, inhabited by a community of around 120 000 people. It is one of several such places in the capital of Kenya, whose inhabitants received food support financed by Polish Aid in 2020.
Polish contribution in the amount of nearly 117 000 USD, summed up with the funds donated to the same project by Finland, Sweden and the United States, allowed the WFP to implement two projects in the informal settlements in the capital of Kenya: direct cash transfers to most needy families, as well as nutrition support for children up to 5 years of age suffering from malnutrition, pregnant and lactating women and the elderly. Within both of these projects, the WFP has reached over a quarter of a million beneficiaries.
