There are more than 360,000 Somalian refugees staying in the world’s largest refugee camp (Dadaab Camp) near Kenya. The only hope of survival is the food and water at the refugee camp which is only enough for one out of the day four refugees. Without help from outside, the survival rate will keep decreasing because of increase in refugees. According to UN report, two million children are undernourished. In order for them to survive, support is urgently needed. Refugees are walking for days to reach Ethiopia and typically anly 1 or 2 children from a family of 4 can reach the camps.
Embrace Relief distributed 80 Lbs food packages to more than 2000 Somalian refugee families in Kenya 2011 and 2012.
After the earthquake of 7,2 magnitude, more than 600 people died and many were injured. Many buildings collapsed and most were damaged. Embrace Relief sent food, blankets and clothes to be distributed in Van. Many were left homeless, so Embrace Relief set up tent to provide temporary housing for the victims.
Embrace Relief responds quickly to disasters but also focuses on long term solutions to the problems that these disasters cause. Therefore Embrace Relief is building a dormitory in Van, Turkey that will house 200 students. The dormitory will be completed by September 2013.
