Famine & Hope in the Horn of Africa

Water is Life!

Our members have always enjoyed our reports and letters which we receive from our “man on the ground” in Kenya. David Eshihuula has been with SFA since our very first visit to Kenya in 2006.

At the time David was working as a teacher in a special school for the Hearing Impaired. One day while we were visiting at Itegero Primary School David walked a great distance with his hearing impaired school children for a chance to meet us.

He was very eloquent and passionate even at that first meeting. It was obvious his heart was connected to the children and he wanted them to receive help. He taught us how difficult life is for disabled children in Kenya and how they are often marginalised. We also felt an immediate connection to these children and realized that our work must embrace the challenge of helping these children attain their rightful place in society.

So began our work with David and over the last four years David has enabled many excellent projects to come to fruition by his commitment, focus, energy and compassion. His writing paints a detailed picture and gives his unique perspective on Kenya from the inside, which only a Kenyan can share with us. We always find enjoyment and inspiration in his writing and have often wished our supporters could read his informative reports.

WELL NOW YOU CAN!

With this new place on our website called “David’s Corner” we shall post some excerpts from David’s past reports and articles on life in Kenya. We will post new ones as they come in. The first piece will be an excerpt of his article on Drilling Wells in Kenya and what it is like to be a girl child hauling water for the family’s use. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

THANK YOU DAVID…Asante Sana.
