Two container loads of Advance Aid-supplied emergency kits – part of our partnership with World Vision and Agility – are seen leaving for Dadaab recently.
Leaving the Agility yard in Nairobi
Each forty foot container has 500 emergency kits inside, each kit will provide the basics for a family of five, so these two trucks are carrying supplies that will help 5,000 people in the Dadaab camp.

A new report produced by Eurodad – the European Network on Debt and Development – shows that $69 billion spent on official development aid each year goes straight back to the donor country in the form of contracts for its private sector companies. This is more than half of the total spend on development aid.
This means that companies in the developed countries of the North benefit massively from the aid that their governments are giving to the poorer countries of the South.
