2026 Mission Trip Report

We travelled to Kenya for several weeks to meet with development partners. Parents and teachers were very happy to receive us and show off the incredible work their students were doing in school.

 

 

 

Culturally, when you meet someone, you greet them by shaking their right hand!

Pauline Mwania, Kitui Education Chief and former teacher, attended a school supply and fundraising event during our visit.

The introduction of Community Learning has seen many schools grow vegetables and others keep chickens. Schools with large tracts of open land keep bees and harvest honey.    Most schools choose to grow collard greens. The leaves can be harvested over a long period of time. The crop is hardy and grows well in Arid and Semi-Arid areas.

BBG University and College students learned our three-prong approach to academic success.

We focus on scholarships, school supplies and school buildings.  Three schools constructed libraries. They invited us for the launch.  Libraries are built with brick, cement and stone. They last more than 100 years. A very good investment for a community.

Many schools lack science laboratories not to mention computer laboratories. High Schoolers need practical lessons on biology, chemistry, physics, information technology and engineering.

$15000 will construct and equip a science lab.

$10,000 provides a school with a library.

$3000 supports college education.

$120 is a year of high school.

$30 provides 5 reading books for a child to share with their siblings and cousins!

As a thank you, you may just get a chicken!
