The country has passed through the most severe period in the recent period, causing non-production of crops in many areas, thus leaving nearly 3, 4 million Kenyans at risk of hunger and about 500. Thousands of people without access to water.

While the arrival of unwanted rainfall is seen as a blessing and brings great relief to agricultural areas, the rains also affect people's lives and cause ruin in other parts of the country.
