KENYA

Kenya:
Kenya is a country in the midst of turmoil. One of the most physically beautiful and diverse countries in the world, her people are faced with a burgeoning population, government mismanagement, and a breakdown of vital infrastructure, all combined with the effects of a two year drought. Current estimates put the population at over 30 million people, with 45% of the population under the age of 14. Unemployment is well over 50% and per capita income has fallen recently to under $600 a year.

NEWS: The HCF mission trip to Kenya on February 8 has been canceled.  We plan to reschedule our visit when the political situation in Kenya is resolved.

NEWS: We got a call from Joseph Kirima Rwito in Meru, Kenya, who assures us that the kids and their care givers are safe and well.  The ethnic difficulties that you see on TV are elsewhere.  Meru is a relatively homogenous community with few of the ethnic tensions that one  sees boiling up in the slums of the major Kenyan cities.
