We would first like to send our sympathies to any members who have been hurt by the current crisis and post election violence taking place in Kenya. We have been following the events closely and thinking about how Kabissa can provide support to you at this time. One way is to provide you with information about online campaigns, media and other online iniatives. Please help spread the word of these efforts to as many people as possible across the country.

USHAHIDI a tool for anyone who has witnessed acts of violence to report those acts which will then be published on the USHAHIDI site. You can send in reports by email or you can use sms text to send in reports. All reports are anonymous to protect the safety of individuals.
For more information on USHAHIDI please visit their website at http://www.ushahidi.com or if you do not have internet access you can use SMS to make reports as follows:

* You can make sms reports by texting 00447624802635 with your mobile phone.
* You can email your reports and images to tips@ushahidi.com
* USHAHIDI has added a "Peace Efforts" button to highlight the good things that are happening.
* The USHAHIDI "How you can help" page has started. The first is a way to send money via MamaMikes.com that will be distributed by the Kenyan Red Cross.
* There are USHAHIDI buttons (with copy/paste code) for you to add to your own websites.

A photo blog has been created at Flickr which you can access here: Kenyan Elections Photos
