Young leaders gather in Johannesburg for an HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights summit

Kenyan President William Ruto has promised emergency financial assistance to every household affected in and displaced by floods in Nairobi.

Speaking during a visit of the affected areas in the Capital's dense informal settlements, Ruto pledged to give each family 10,000 Shillings or 75 US Dollars and vowed to rebuild all schools destroyed by the floods.

Ruto postponed the planned reopening of schools until further notice, as heavy rains and floods, that have killed more than 200 people, continue. Kenya and other parts of East Africa have been overwhelmed by flooding, with more than 150-thousand displaced people living in camps across the country.
