Friends Of Turkana
• One of the main goals for this trip to Kenya by the Friends of Turkana was to visit a community whose goal was sustainability. That is, it would become self sufficient, not dependent on hand outs and charity. The Nyambani Orphanage and community has as one its goals sustainability. The community now has 460 orphans and 46 house mothers (grand mothers) on 1000 acres of land around 200 kilometers from Nairobi. The goal is to house 1000 orphans. Most of the orphans come from Nairobi and many have lost parents to AIDS. The community has built most of its own primary schools.

• The village solar powered pumps irrigating (drip) vegetable and has fruit gardens. It also has a cash crop of trees for timber – these will take around eight years to mature . Herds of goats and other livestock are fed from the village gardens. The community makes their own bricks and the wood stock is milled in their own “Polytechnic Institute”. At this time in the community is dependent on outside support but they have a plan in place where they should be self sufficient within ten years. This is the model (or parts) we want to duplicate in the Turkana communities.

Turkana
The Turkana communities are mostly nomadic. There is a great deal of goat and camel herding. There is serious overgrazing which negatively impacts the already parched environment. Water resources are scarce and underdeveloped. Barely one third of the students go to primary school and 95% of the schools were built by NGO’s. Although the state does provide teachers (ill trained and barely paid) there are practically no school supplies. The following is a photo chronicle of our visit this year.
