Church World Service is saddened by the recent violence following the disputed election in Kenya. We speak as one with the faith communities in the region and around the world in calling for justice, peace and reconciliation in Kenya.
We will continue to respond to the humanitarian
crisis caused by the unrest by working with our partners there to distribute
desperately needed food and supplies to people suffering because of
the unrest.
We are holding the people of Kenya and our colleagues and partners
there close in our hearts and continue to urge political leaders to
settle their differences. We pray that the hope that exists for a just
and peaceful resolution will be nurtured into reality over the coming
days.
