Kwambekenya is a rural farming community in Kenya, Africa that Prairie Lakes Church has partnered with for the last five year through the organization the 410 Bridge. Every year we are able to support and empower the community as they take steps in bringing health and sustainability in these five areas: •Water •Education •Health Care •Micro-Enterprise •Spiritual Development
God has been doing mighty things in and through these people and He has let us rally around this community as we send people, funds, and prayer to help them be the people God's called them to be. Take a look at the progress in the following projects.
The Medical Clinic
The community medical clinic has amazing news! The electricity has finally been connected and turned on! This will allow the clinic to have full power to run lights, machines and more! The clinic can now stay open in the evening to treat patience after school and work hours who would otherwise not be able to use the clinic. A computer, microscope and medicine freezer can now be used to offer advanced care.
In addition to electricity the clinic gate has successfully been completed! This increases the safety of the clinic and community garden project and keeps the roaming sheep and cows out!
This gate now provides safety and as the locals say "the sheep are no longer welcome in!"
Kiambariki Primary School
The primary school construction of a new classroom block is scheduled to begin in January of 2012! Until then all 22 teachers in the school have received a comfortable plastic char to replace their hard wooden ones. This allows them to prepare and grade their students work in comfort! Kiambariki will now be able to write a better story in the lives of their children!
Teachers at the primary school try out their new chairs.
Micro-Enterprise with the United Women's Group
A project that was developed to help empower it's members economically by distributing a dairy cow to help nourish families and bring in funds is moving along well! The women in the group continue to meet to care for the cows and share life experiences and talk about how God is working in their lives. This project has helped restore families around the community.
