New Campaign Launches to Meet Emergency Needs for Survivors & Families of the Kenyan College Terror Attack
Houses with Hope’s “United4Kenya” GoFundMe crowdfunding seeks to raise $200,000
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico, April 23, 2015 – Houses with Hope, the U.S. based non-profit dedicated to assisting needy individuals and families in Africa, launched a GoFundMe campaign on Monday entitled “United4Kenya” to aid in providing immediate relief for the survivors and families of those killed in the April 2, 2015 attack at Garissa University College in Kenya.
The “United4Kenya” campaign’s goal is to raise $200,000 to provide emergency medical care, grief counselors and funeral expenses for victims and their families.

Just three weeks ago, on April 2, 2015, Al-Shabaab terrorists stormed the Garissa University College campus in Kenya. The attack killed 148 people and injured 79 more, officially becoming the second deadliest attack in the country’s history.
“While this massacre happened three weeks ago, the lingering needs of victims and their families still remain,” said Houses with Hope’s Founder and President Ronna Jordan. “The surviving students that were wounded in the attacks were taken to the only public hospital in Nairobi, which unfortunately, isn’t equipped to handle that amount of people. Funds are needed now to help transfer these patients to private hospitals where they can receive adequate treatment for their injuries.”
Funds raised through “United4Kenya” will aid in providing this medical care as well as assist the families of the deceased, most of whom are extremely poor, and are struggling to pay for burial expenses.
“We know that $200,000 seems like a lot to raise in a short amount of time,” said Jordan. “But if only 40,000 people would simply donate $5 for what they would typically spend on a daily coffee, it would make a world of difference to these people and help them begin to rebuild hope for themselves and their country. Every little bit helps.”
