Meet David Muchai Ngunyi!

David Muchai (Moo – ‘chy) is The 410 Bridge‘s newest Community Development Manager.  He was hired to fill the vacancy left when Andrew was promoted to Country Director.

I had the opportunity to spend some time with him in August and I was very impressed with his ability to engage the communities and earn the trust of the community leadership.

One of Muchai’s first projects was to contract with the people of Kwambekenya to secure 13,000 hand-made leather X’s for the Catalyst Conference in October.  In the end, Muchai was able to have over 18,000 “X’s” made within a matter of weeks.  All proceeds from the sale of the “X’s” will be used to support orphans in Kenya.

Good job, David!

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.

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.
