   On August 7, 1998, a terrorist bomb ripped through the U.S. Embassy building in downtown Nairobi, killing 213 people and wounding more than 5,000. ADRA Kenya responded immediately following the blast and transported survivors to hospitals, provided volunteers to assist in hospitals, and mobilized people to donate blood, food and materials.
   
   Since then, ADRA has become one of three agencies funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) providing services to those affected by the blast. Four hundred people recovering from physical disabilities remain in the care of ADRA, receiving rehabilitation and financial assistance.
