Olorgisoyia Village is located in a remote region of Kenya along the border of Tanzania. Families here raise livestock like sheep, cows, goats and chickens to create their livelihood. It’s difficult to grow vegetables here due to recurring drought, so families cannot rely on good crops and must find other ways to fee their families.
People in Olorgisoyia Village experience food insecurity due to desert-like conditions, and often find themselves without enough to eat. Many parents reported skipping meals so their children would have enough food. However, the gaps in nutrition are prevalent, and many villagers lack proper nutrition.
There are not clean water sources, and villagers must leave their homes, braving wild animals, to get a drink from sources like ponds, rivers, and streams. These water sources are not only far from home, but dirty–leading to water-borne illness.
You’ll empower villagers to find and build innovative solutions to the water crisis.
Parents will learn job skills, join savings groups, and be empowered to support their children.
Farming and livestock training will enable families to have ample nutritious food year-round.
You’ll support local church leaders and bring the hope of Christ to Olorgisoyia.
Your monthly gift of $39 will meet physical and spiritual needs and bring lasting change to the families in this village. Join the transformation in Olorgisoyia today!
