Higher Church & School Attendance Because of Water!

We wanted to share with a pretty awesome update we received from Ndibai community!  The water project has been running smoothly even with increased water demand reported during the dry season. The community is excited about the project as the water is available at all times and they ensure that water sales are properly managed.

This project has helped to alleviate poverty and improve the community member’s health, education, and spiritual matters. There has been increased church attendance among women and children as they don’t have to miss church going for longer distances in search of water.  They have improved in health status with marked reduction in cases of diarrheal diseases. Ndibai Primary School pupils have access to clean water and no longer have to carry drinking water from home to the school and those children no longer miss school because they need to search of water. This has resulted in increased enrollment in school and improved school performance. The water has kept the Foundations for Farming demo farm green, thus providing fresh vegetables to the community members.

So many great things are happening because of the Ndibai water project! Thank you to everyone who partners with and supports Ndibai. Your generosity is so clearly making a HUGE impact in many lives.

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:
