KENYA
Reports of extreme poverty, lack of training opportunities for young people, migration to cities, corruption, terrorism, AIDS and malaria – the news from Africa is similar every year. Nehemiah International Kenya therefore maintains an education and training center near Kisumu where young people and young adults are supported in all areas of life: the Miwani Center. With agriculture and dairy farming, a small bakery, a farm shop and a health center on the premises, the Miwani Center complements and improves the supply structure of the people from the surrounding villages.
