Our Kenya Country Director, Andrew Guuru, was in Atlanta the last couple of weeks for staff meetings and some strategic planning. Before leaving on his trip to the US, Andrew told Kurt that he would like to get a tattoo while he was in the US. So, last week we took Andrew to get his tattoo. He got a Kenyan Shield tattooed on his forearm. Although painful, Andrew stayed strong saying, “It is not painful enough to make me cry!”. Check out the video below of Andrew getting tattooed.
Learnings From Kiu, Kenya
Our partnership with Kiu community started way back in 2009 making it one of the first communities to partner with the 410 Bridge since its inception in Kenya in 2006.
At the 410 Bridge, we work through the community leaders who ensure continuity of the community’s development even after graduation. During our partnership journey, we walk alongside indigenous community leaders and church leaders as they mobilize and unify the community to participate in their own development – shifting their perspectives and owning the solutions.
