The 410 Bridge desires to invest in a community and it's local leaders with the desire that one day the community will be be able to do more for it's self and others than outside help ever could. This month they did just that!
As I mentioned Kwambekenya is a lush farming community that sits at the base of the beautiful Aberdare mountains in Kenya, Africa. Because of their location this community experiences unusual amounts of rain compared to the rest of the country and this allows for rich, fertile soil perfect for growing many different crops such as beans, onions, carrots and more!
The people of Kwambekenya got word that the community Mvukonil, which is seven hours away, was experiencing a severe drought.
The community of Kwambekenya rallied it's people and neighboring communities to fill truck loads full of cabbages, potatoes and other vegetables to send over to this community. A community full of people they have never met.
The people of Mvukoni were overwhelmed with thankfulness and could hardly believe a community of fellow Kenyans from a different tribe had decided to give freely of their resources to help them survive.
Because of this act the leadership of Kwambekenya, with the communitie's support, have made a goal for the years to come. "We commit to donating food stuffs to needy communities every year as a gesture of stewardship to others," said a local leadership member.
The people of Kwambekenya understand that God has blessed them richly in many ways and desire to use those blessings to help others in their country.
This is a HUGE step forward for Kwambekenay because THEY heard about the need of another community and THEY decided to DO something about it. They looked at what they HAD and decided to GIVE FREELY to help.
