With so much happening on the ground in Kenya - our new development hub being completed, possible expansion of the project to a third Division, as well as the ongoing activities in HIV care and support, maternal and child health and health literacy, there are many reasons we need to visit. Mike and Jess are planning an intensive time in and around Uranga to monitor the project, work together with local staff and volunteers, and help to develop some new ideas that are taking shape.

Local manager Steve Mordecai will be their main contact, along with other staff, volunteers and board members. The drought recently broke in the area, and there are now heavy rains…while Uranga is still a fairly remote, rural place, it is now connected to Siaya town by a tarmac road (one of the only roads Mike and Jess will travel on without contending with slippery mud).

We wish these guys a healthy and safe trip and look forward to their updates and ways forward.
