Food Distribution in Kenya by Usha Shah


The day dawned bright and warm and all worries about the weather being wet dissipated with the
sun coming out and the clouds disappearing! We – Induben Shah, Gideon, Patrick and I – left for
Machakos at a quarter past nine in the morning. We arrived in Machakos at about 11 o’clock and
to our consternation found that nothing, and I mean nothing, was ready! There were no packed
food parcels nor was there the truck that was to carry 130 packets of food, each packet
containing 10 kgs of dried maize, 3 kgs of dried beans, oil, sugar, salt and 5 kgs of maize meal.
We waited and waited as we kept on listening to the sentence, “The lorry will be here in the next
half an hour!” Well! That half hour stretched to 2pm, which was the time originally expected for
us to have completed the food distribution and headed back home. Then the lorry arrived, was
loaded and finally left for the venue!
