Measuring at Distribution






The beneficiaries themselves divide up the food and oil after they receive it. They carry the maize and oil to an uncrowded area and divide it according to their family size. The larger the family, the more food they receive. The oil is not given by family size; each family must divide a geri can of oil, which once it is divided is about 6 cups per family. This oil will maybe last them two weeks depending how much they use each day. Oil is very precious for the cooking of their food and is divided very carefully. The pictures show them dividing the oil and maize; we know that if the Kenyans themselves divide the food and oil the measurements will be accurate and fair.
