Children drink high nutrition porridge provided by Save the Children and funded by UNICEF at a school in the outskirts of Wajir district in Kenya, August 17, 2011. Because of the severe drought that has hit the northern Kenya region, families are forced to go into schools where food aid is been distributed. Wajir is one of the districts worst affected by recent failure of short and long rains and prolonged droughts in North Eastern region of Kenya. The drought situation and water shortage, coupled with years of under-development in the region, has caused several schools not to have permanent water sources and risk closure thus making the children’s access to education irregular.
