Description
On May 15, 2008 the Chinese government gave Kenya 200 million shillings (3.2 million dollars) to help resettle hundreds of thousands of villagers who were uprooted from their villages by the political turmoil following Kenyan elections. The Chinese government granted 1 million USD in cash as well as around 2 million USD in corrugated iron for housing. The project is linked to a 50 million CNY loan of the same nature (Project #1133).
