Wajir Municipality, in partnership with the Kenya Red Cross Society, has completed a massive town cleanup to prepare for the El Nino rains. The exercise was done by municipal staff, Red Cross volunteers, and public officers. Open drainages were unclogged, and litter was collected to ensure a clean municipality.

Red Cross Wajir Coordinator Abdia Manya said that as part of El Nino preparedness, the Kenya Red Cross has already prepositioned nonfood and WASH items to Wajir to benefit 1450 households. The Kenya Red Cross has also trained Red Cross action teams, including divers and volunteers, to prepare for El Nino.
