Community Spotlight Wednesday Kiu, Kenya

The youth have become more involved in their churches; they have been attending Sunday school every week & many have joined the church choirs. They have even begun actively preaching the Gospel throughout Kiu and the surrounding communities! The youth have planned targeted activities for September with the men and women of their community; some of these activities will be a church choir competition and a men’s camp.

There were no reports of water borne diseases in Kiu during the rainy season! The community members are clean and healthy thanks to clean water in their community and the availability of a health facility in the community. The health facility has transformed the lives of the community members and the overall health of Kiu has greatly improved.

The students of Kiu took end of terms exams in August and performed very well! The school leadership and community are very proud of their students and believe their students are the beginning of a promising future. The parents, teachers, and school leadership have been meeting regularly to review the students’ grades and strategize for better performance and higher quality education.

Thank you to everyone who has visited, invested in, and prayed for Kiu!

Learnings From Kiu, Kenya

Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006. 

At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.

Serving with Joy: A Week in Mutirithia, Kenya

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Kenya, allow me to do my best to try to put into words what an incredible life-changing experience that you really need to do at least once in your life. 

I was recently blessed to travel to Mutirithia, Kenya with an amazing group of 20 other Christian men to serve the families in that community over the course of a week. 

We prepared for weeks to make sure everyone understood the primary objective of the trip, which was to build upon relationships already formed in the community and to spread the Word to as many people as we could. 

Allow me to unfold a day-by-day glimpse of what we experienced:
