What is the long term solution to recurring
droughts and starvation in Kenya?
Dr.
Elijah Korich, founder and chairman of Keiyo Soy Ministries (KSM) believes it
requires empowering communities and assisting them in
identifying and developing local resources.
Ascertaining sustainable development in rural Africa can only be
achieved by engaging individual communities in the development of their
local resources.
Preservation of natural resources,
water catchments, preservation of forests, planting of trees, food
self-sufficiency, crop production, livestock development, water
development and irrigation, public health clinics, education, and local
capacity building are among the activities Keiyo Soy Ministries is striving to achieve in
the next five years.
Income generating development includes production of crops for local
consumption and cash crops like coffee, fruits for local markets, and
eventually the exporting of these products will provide communities with
foreign currency.

Letter from
Kimambei Kimitei (Ambrose)
It's a great idea. What
do we need to do to make it happen? Call me. I'm always ready to work
for my people, whatever it takes to get our people out of poverty,
famine, sickness and illiteracy. Ten years ago I told someone that
before my time ends on earth I will witness Africa coming back to be the
greatest and most powerful nation on earth that fears God and cares for
all humanity. My people (Kalenjins) will lead the way. I see something
in them and their future is bright. God of our forefathers (loibons) is
still among us and we don't follow what God tells us to do but follow
what others want us to follow. Dr. Korich, we do have big hearts and the
rest of the world needs to realize that they live amongst the giants. I
do walk tall sometimes without any riches but something tells me that
you are rich beyond all riches. I'm writing this as a testimony of my
faith that my creator put me on this world for a purpose. There has to
be a reason why I was born in this century. I have a lot to say but lets
say much next time. |
