Kenya

Kenya is an East African nation with a population of approximately 54 million people. It is home to more than 40 ethnic groups.  English and Kiswahili are the official languages, while many indigenous languages are spoken. Kenya is a presidential republic in which the President serves as both head of state and government. Kenya gained independence from Britain in 1963. 

Kenyan culture is diverse and community‑centered. Traditions include music, dance, storytelling, and strong family structures. Rural communities continue to value elders, ceremonies, and traditional practices. Agriculture, especially tea, coffee, and horticulture play a major role on the economy. Many rural families rely on subsistence farming. In remote rural areas there are traditional African beliefs. Some that have been exposed to Christianity have blended it with their tribal beliefs. 

Healthcare access in rural Kenya is limited. Many communities travel long distances to clinics that have shortages of medical staff and limited resources. Common health challenges include malaria, HIV/AIDS, and maternal health concerns. In addition, many health issues are related to lack of access to clean water. Our team will provide (WASH) Water, sanitation and hygiene education in the communities we serve. 

Please consider joining Missions Partners for Christ in providing a 4-day medical clinic for the unreached and underserved people in remote areas of this country.  You can use your gifts, talents and resources to serve God’s people through this medical outreach. In so doing, you will strengthen your faith, meet some incredible people and maybe even witness God’s healing powers firsthand.
