I just had a great video call with Wubshet & Habiba in Kenya. They shared several pieces of good news:
- The recent tribal fighting has subsided. Things had gotten bad, with one particular tribe killing over a dozen people from another tribe over the last 10 weeks. Travel back and forth to our villages was risky and infrequent. So district officials from around Kenya recently convened in the area to address the problem head on. Wubshet & Habiba told me that things have now returned to calm, and they are back at work in the villages.
- We're providing a solar-powered water pump to our village of Shambani. We are working closely with World Vision to help Shambani with their water needs. We are splitting the cost of an affordable solar-powered clean-water pump, with a large storage tank. Now the village will have enough regularly available clean water for everyone!
- Ola Nagele will plant drought-resistant fruit-bearing trees. Ola Nagele has been a stark, barren village, with no shade or plant life. Our team has been teaching them about strong, drought-resistant, fruit-bearing trees like avacado, papaya, mango, etc. Yesterday we purchased and gave hundreds of young trees to every family, and trained them how to plant and nurture the trees. If you come to Ola Nagele in the future you will see a different, lush village!
THANK YOU for continuing to follow the progress of these developing villages. Through out Adopt-A-Village program individuals, church groups and businesses are helping these villages to transform themselves, one step at a time.
