Toilets Reduce Absentees for 200 Kenyan Students

As we continue to try and identify another recipient for a school latrine, our efforts have been temporarily hampered by yet another recent lockdown of Kisumu and 12 other counties, due to COVID19. When we reported last time, we were beginning the process of looking for another school that we could partner with to build another toilet. But with the lockdown and high COVID19 rates in the areas we work in, it became impossible for our program coordinator to travel to the field and participate in the vetting process of the schools. 

During this time, we've had to shift our focus towards emergency food distributions that have been implemented by our partners, Nazarene Compassionate Organization, thanks to their staff member, Dr. Samuel Oketch who lives in the area. We are incredibly grateful to NCO and Dr. Oketch, without whom, just about all of our work would have been stalled. Once things have opened up more, we will resume our search for another school, and we will keep you updated as we make progress! Thank you again for your support of this project!
