February 14 FAF wired $1000 to Women Fighting AIDS in Kenya. They responded with thanks and further information about the situation in that country. The money sent by FAF will be used to provide food to the many women and children in onr of WOFAK's centres in western Kenya. At the time of their response dated the 15th, they had not been able to reach the clients at this time.

Dorothy Onyango, Executive Director of WOFAK went on to say, "We are continuing with efforts to mobilize resources from our partners and we are confident that the responses that we have seen so far, which are quite favorable, will continue to benefit the thousands of women within our membership who have been displaced, raped, disinherited and badly hit by the violence."

Although the violence has lessened, it is estimated that 600,000 Kenyans have been displaced. When asked by Joseph Ndungo, a shopkeeper in the Rift Valley said that he could not go back when it was the men he played soccer with who burned down his shop. Source, New York Times.
