The Government of Kenya is failing its children.

Corruption, intimidation, and lost evidence are denying defilement survivors justice, allowing perpetrators to walk free and cycles of abuse to continue.

We must push for systems that children, rather than fail them.

I brought a few things back with me from Kenya. Check them out. The photos just don't do them justice. Each item has a number next to it, please give me the item number and whether it is a basket, crossbody, or tote bag. I'm sorry, but with my current schedule, I'm not going to be able to mail anything. If you see something you like you can Venmo () the money or bring cash when you pick it up at my house in Union, KY or I might be able to get it to Anderson Township, OH.
ALL funds from sales go to Hand in Hand Kenya. If you have a question about an item, please feel free to message me. If you cannot pickup, I'll try to work with you to get item/s to you. I can also hold it until I see you, but please pay ahead for me to hold it. More detailed descriptions are under each photo. I encourage you to enlarge the photos to see the details of each item.

Polly Kab a supporter of Maisha Girls Safe House has a small plot of land where her house sits in Meru county. She uses every inch for growing the most amazing fruits.
The girls at the house don't often get fruits. She is sending me with quite a variety for the house.
I personally can say they are delicious. Some are at the end of their growing season and some are at the beginning of their's growing session.
Also, don't be fooled by their outside.
Steve, my driver, who took me to Meru helped pick and gather all of these fruits.

You have heard about some of our work at the Maisha Safe "Space." We helped to furnish the only library in the area ith some books and the furniture needed. The Safe Space is located i the Viwandani infomral settlement. (we use to call these areas the "slums".) This is where the poorest of the poor live. There is no running water, electric for the few that can afford it. The safe space allows students to come after school to do homework in a more condusive and supportive area, than their own small, iron sheet home. There are other activities in the safe space, but the home work club is the most consistent. It's an oasis for many families.
Last Friday once again torential rains came through and flooded the area. Families who work hard to just scrape by, lost everything. The flooding hit our safe space. On the ground floor it was up to the middle of the windows. Luckily the library is on the upper floor. Here are some photos & a video. Lots of cleaning to do.

I am looking for a volunteer who knows SquareSpace to do some updates on our website. I would prefer someone that is able to do the writing and the creative part. We are not changing the platform from SquareSpace. I will of course work with you. I don't care age, but competency is the key. If you need volunteer hours, I'll be glad to sign-off on your hours. Or someone can do it just because they want to do good. If you have any questions, please let me know.
