10th March, 2026 10:14 PM
City preacher Prophet Victor Kanyari has joined efforts to offer help to scores of Nairobi residents who have been affected by severe flooding caused by ongoing heavy rains.
The Salvation Healing Ministries founder camped in Njiru area of Nairobi, where his church is located, providing essential supplies and food items to scores of residents whose lives were disrupted by the floods.
“Leo Team Kanyari imeshinda Potmore Njiru tukipeana chakula kwa watu ambao walioadhiriwa na mafuriko,” Kanyari said.
This loosely translates to: “Today Team Kanyari spent the day at Potmore Njiru providing food to those affected by floods”.
Photos shared by the self-styled prophet show people lining up and receiving supplies from his entourage.
Kiengei appeals for donations
He joins a growing list of religious leaders who have stepped in following the tragedy, including Jesus Compassion Ministries (JCM) founder Benson Gathungu, popularly known as Bishop Kiengei, who opened the doors of his church to those affected.
“These rains have deeply affected many people in Kenya. Houses have submerged properties destroyed and people have shifted…Today at JCM CHURCH INT’L HQ’S, we have received victims of the downpour,” the preacher explained in a statement issued on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.
He appealed for donations, stating that he needs help to offer support to them as they rebuild their lives afresh and listed the items that are required urgently and urged well-wishers to respond to the appeal and share whatever they have in aid of the victims.
“Please, I am appealing to you, if you have clothes, bedding, and hygiene stuff that you can share. Visit the LORD’S STORE, and we will reach out to the needy,” he said.
Sakaja on the receiving end
Nairobi was hit by floods following heavy rainfall on Friday, March 6, 2026, with more than 40 people confirmed dead.
Scores were left nursing injuries, with property whose value is estimated in the hundreds of millions destroyed.
Governor Johnson Sakaja found himself on the receiving end as public anger boiled over the perennial floods, which have seen his administration fumble every other year.
