Update from Ndathi

Posted on Aug 30, 2009

Cindy Alexander traveled to Ndathi in July and returned with news of the microlending groups and the Samaria Maternity Health Center. Njeri Kaburu sent thanks to BBI for its support of the microlending groups, saying it had empowered her with God’s help to continue administering the groups. She wrote, “A total of 280 women in the Ndathi location are able to see they have income-generating things. The project is self-sustaining through the interest paid on the loans. Thank you for your great support and love and for believing in me and trusting me with this project.”

Anne Kaburu reported, “Things at Samaria are good, though not as busy as two years ago [i.e., before the political unrest of December 2007].” Inflation has put health care beyond the reach of many people, causing the patient census at Samaria to drop. But as Anne went on to say, “Our prayer is that everyone who seeks help here will be able to find it.”
