The impact of US President Donald Trump's decision to slash foreign aid funding is now being felt in Kenya, with several agencies beginning to suspend their programmes.

The USAWA programme, operated under the US Agency for International Development (USAID), has also suspended its activities in Kenya.

"We have received a stop-work/suspension of work notification from USAID regarding the USAWA programme.
