We are excited to announce the addition of a new 410 Bridge Community: Kawira, which is near Thika. Recently, the members of Kawira traveled to Kinangop to visit the 410 communities of Kwambekenya, Kiria and Karima. There, they visited with David Muchai, our community coordinator in Kinangop to learn more about how water projects can work in 410 Communities.
410 Communities teaching 410 communities! We are so excited!
I’ve always asked “Why is Kenya so different?” “What makes it so special?”
Being a part of a Global Missions team, I have had the opportunity to help send teams to Kenya but never experience it myself. The teams always came back bonded and something was different.
One day at church I felt a calling or a nudge that God wanted me to serve in a different way. I looked through my church’s opportunities and as soon as I saw Kenya I felt a wash of joy flood over me. I applied that day and was overjoyed to hear shortly back that I had been accepted to go. Our church gave us the book “If You Really Want To Help” and from there I fell in love with what 410 was doing for the people of Kenya, especially after reading the story of Chris in Kahuria.
Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006.
At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.
