After having seen the field level activities Madam Aysha described the works of ANE as “incredible job”. In her words, “the name “Action for the Needy” really suits the organization.” She said that she was able to observe the satisfaction of the refugees with ANE’s services from the warm welcome they gave to her and the other ANE Team. She hoped-for ANE, now working in cross Border areas, would do similar works in the areas of health, water and education for the refugee communities in Kenya as well. She recommended that ANE should work more on visibility so that outsiders would know the good work and gain knowledge and experience from its refugee services.
