We work to improve living standards and enable self-sufficiency through community-based cooperative initiatives. We are an Irish Registered Charity Chy No 19370 working in the remote areas of Mogotio and Rongai, 42 kms from the Nakuru. Our work focuses on providing primary healthcare, improving farm practices and community support (education, inclusion programs, daily living improvements, finance

schemes, emergency aid). We collaborate closely with the community and regularly evaluate all projects to ensure that the services we provide are valuable, relevant and efficient. Our programs are constantly evolving as we build on our past successes.

100% of all money donated goes directly to fund our projects in Kenya - general donations are not used to fund salaries or administration costs.

We got a new toy!

A few weeks ago we bought a baler for making silage.

For the past few years we've been helping farmers save silage for the dry season. The impact of having feed available when grass runs out is huge. It means less time spent walking animals in search of pasture, higher milk yields, better fertility and healthier animals.

Feeding silage from a pit isn't without its challenges. The feed has to be taken out almost every day, and the pit has to be covered again afterwards. If it's left open, oxygen quickly reduces the quality of the silage.

The baler solves a lot of these problems. It produces bales weighing around 60kg, so farmers can simply open a bale and feed their animals for a day or two. It also means there's much less need to keep opening and closing the silage pit, reducing the workload for farming families, particularly the women we work with.

This baler was purchased thanks to a generous donation from the Kelly Family Foundation, who have been supporting our work for more than 10 years. We are incredibly grateful for your continued help.

Last Thursday May 28th was World Menstrual Hygiene Day. It's also an anniversary for us as it is five years since we started our relationship with .are.riley . As in previous years we partnered with the Ministry of Health and visited a number of schools last Thursday and Friday. Since we started this program in 2021 we have conducted over 120 health talks, reaching over 10,000 girls and boys. We have purchased and distributed over 150,000 sanitary towels. These interventions have enabled vulnerable girls to continue with their education and enabled us to identify girls needing further counselling and medical attention.
As always a huge thanks to our wonderful doctor Mary for planning and executing these events and to the ongoing support of .are.riley . Its impossible to properly convey the gratitude we have for all you have done these past five years.

We are currently experiencing our rainy season. With it, we always see an increase in the number of farmers who want dams to be lined. This year is no different. We started this program in 2022 with the aim of lining 100 dams in 10 years. This month, we have passed 40 dams lined for 40 farmers. Combined, they harvest over 8 million litres of water. Of those 40 dams lined, over 80% have been lined by loans taken by women through their savings groups. The search for water is traditionally the work of women, and they know acutely the benefits of having water for the dry season. While we primarily focus on securing water for their livestock, the water is also used for other income generating activities such as growing vegetables. While some dam liner is provided at a subsidised price, the vast majority is provided as a long-term loan, with repayment done through the farmers' savings groups. It has proven to be hugely successful due to the commitment of the women we work with. We would especially like to thank the embassy of Ireland in Nairobi and the DairyMis farming discussion group in Ireland, who provide us with the funding to make all this possible. So far this month we have lined 3 ponds. Thankfully, April also sees children on their Easter holidays, which has enabled our chairman Karanja Mawe to keep an eye on our work. He likes to portray himself as a man of the people, so as you can see in the photos, he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Maith an buachaill!

Schools are currently on their Easter holidays. Before they closed Mary, our wonderful doctor visited a number of schools to provide sanitary towels to school going girls and conduct health talks. As always, we are indebted to the support of .are.riley, ensuring this project is now entering its sixth year. In the week before Easter, we combined this activity with the dispersion of water tanks to a number of schools we work with. We are very grateful to Fr. Francis McAuliffe, together with a charity shop in Kilrush Co. Clare who donated the money to purchase these tanks. Fr. Frank gave us the money to build our first clinic in 2014. Twelve years later, we are very grateful that he continues to support us.

As the sun sets on 2025, we’d like to thank everyone who supported us over the past year. A special thanks as well to all those we work with in Kenya — without your involvement and trust, our work wouldn’t have any meaning.

2025 saw us lose a few too many close friends, both here in Kenya and back in Ireland. They and their families are in our thoughts as the year comes to a close.

Wishing everyone connected with DP a happy New Year.
