Church Planting
Samburu Friends are dedicated to worship, proclaiming of God’s Word, and the growth of God’s Church.
A new church has been planted at Baraogoi in the northern part of the Samburu district, bordering the Turkana area.
The foundation of a new church building is underway, with hopes of a Friends Peace Center to be established.
Church Planting
Peace Building• Friends are committed to
uphold Quaker peace testimony in Samburu.
• For years the Samburu have fought with neighbouring Turkana and Pokot people.
• These ancient clashes are the result: – Limited grazing areas – Scarce water resources.– The practice of cattle rustling.
• Many innocent lives are lost.
The leaders of the SamburuMission are seeking to establish a lasting peace by
– Proclaiming the message of Christ’s peace.
– Engaging key tribal leaders.
– Hosting peace negotiations among warring groups.
– And plan to teach AVP (Alternatives to Violence Program) classes.

Medical Care
Samburu Friends provide medical care to the community as away of reaching out to our neighbors with the healing love of Jesus Christ. Friends have one Dispensary in Loltuleleithat serves approximately 10,000 people.
Losuk Upper Hill
Friends built a nice dispensary at Upper Hill in Losuk to serve both the Samburu and Pokotpeople. Unfortunately it was destroyed during the post-election violence of 2008. We are praying about re-establishing critical medical services in this area.
