Project Overview:
|
The Republic of Kenya lies in East Africa along the Indian Ocean, at the equator. Snow-capped mountain peaks, arid deserts, and rolling grasslands provide a stunning setting for numerous wildlife reserves which contain thousands of animal species. The culture is made up of colorful tribal customs combined with modern sensibilities. But poverty in Kenya is a huge problem. Between 25-50% of the population earn less than $1 each day and around 75% is dependent on its unstable agriculture industry. Weak overall infrastructure for the country means that nearly all the rural population is forced to rely on their own farming for food as well as monetary income. Jobs are scarce, leaving people with little opportunity for employment. Civil unrest following recent elections has led to violence claiming the lives of thousands of Kenyans, and displaced thousands more to refugee camps. Known for being one of the most corrupt nations in the world, the average urban Kenyan pays an estimated 16 bribes per month. Until a significant change can occur from top to bottom, the Kenyan people will continually be forced to suffer through these intolerable conditions.

Ministry Description:
|
You will live out in the bush in Eburru, about an hour from Nairobi and close to a town called Naivasha. The team will spend most of its time there. But you will also minister a few days in Kibera, Kenya's largest slum. You will minister through skits, sports, music, etc. You might travel into more rural areas as well. This journey promises to be unlike any other you've ever been on, and will not leave you unchanged.
