The COVID-19 pandemic struck and resulted to among many others loss of jobs subjecting people to harsh living conditions.

The results of the pandemic was evident not only here in Kenya but also away.

A section of Kenyans living and working in Saudi Arabia were affected by the pandemic and their situation away from home forced an organisation to provide them with food among other basic items.

Dorcas Chapter No. 3 collaborated with Murphy Coleman Lodge No. 3 in feeding and shoppimg for at least 14 Kenyan ladies in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, July 23.

On Monday, August 10, the organisation received news of a Kenyan whose house had burnt down, and again they embarked on an exercise to support the befallen mother of two.

Dorcas Chapter No. 3 in collaboration with Murphy Coleman Lodge No. 3 and Ms Danita Parker bought the affected woman household items, and other items sourced from various friends.

The organisations also handed the woman 3,700 Saudi Riyal (KSh 106,590).
