While in Kenya after Christmas I had the opportunity to work with leaders from our 4 Ngaamba communities in making a comprehensive map of the water system already in place in the Ngaamba area. It was such a neat time to watch leaders from 4 separate leadership councils work together on a common goal, WATER. This is what The 410 Bridge is about, leaders working together for the benefit of the people in their communities. Water projects that have been completed in Ngaamba with the help of The 410 Bridge have made an incredible impact on the community. We tend to think these projects only provide water, but leaders seeing vision for their communities is another huge benefit of these projects. Only through the leaders guiding and the communities taking ownership will hope grow. What a huge opportunity this was to see The 410 Bridge model in action. Leaders gaining vision, hope growing and a community that is being transformed from within. This is what we are about at The 410 Bridge.

I’ve had the privilege of working at The 410 Bridge for the past two years, first as Director of International Programs, then transitioning to President in 2023. Today, I am incredibly blessed to step into the role of CEO.
As we begin this exciting journey as an organization, I want to share more about who I am, my heart for our mission, and where we are headed this year.
