Nairobi, May 5 -- In the face of challenges and weather hazards, President William Ruto talked of "our nation has never failed" during his address to the Nation on Friday.

He said Kenyans always stand with one another and work together to overcome adversity.

"The government appreciates the goodwill demonstrated by thousands of individuals and institutional volunteers who have made tremendous input into alleviating the suffering and pain of those affected by the prevailing crisis," the President said.

Thousands of Kenyans, even before this admission, were going out of their way to help.

Ms Hanifa Adan was gathering news and documenting the tragedy of the downpours in Mathare, Nairobi.
