The women of the Mwihoko project in Karima, Kenya have been learning various handicraft skills in knitting and paper-bead making. This August, they were funded for the purchase of weaving and spinning machines.
According to our community representative, “It was jubilation as they received the machines!”
The first group has started their training on weaving and spinning via a hired teacher. For now, the old nursery school at Kawamaitha will serve as the training center.
In the rural community of El Pajal, Guatemala, education has long faced an uphill battle. For many teachers and students, the lack of basic classroom materials isn’t just a challenge—it’s a daily reality. Imagine trying to learn math without a notebook or teach a reading lesson without any books. For children in El Pajal, this is far too familiar.
Teachers in this community are deeply committed to their students. Many have gone as far as spending their own limited income on supplies, determined to give their students the chance to learn and grow despite the odds. But the burden shouldn’t fall on them alone.
That’s where the 410 Bridge community—and your support—steps in.
In a sea of short-term mission options, it’s easy to get swept up in hype. You pack bags, raise funds, and pray hard—but how often do leaders pause to ask, “Am I really equipped to lead well?”

That’s why we created the 410 Bridge Team Leader Training, a free, online course designed to equip you with the tools, vision, and confidence to lead a mission team the right way—with dignity, humility, and eternal purpose.
Two years ago, our partnership with the Kiu community officially came to an end—but the story didn’t stop there. In fact, it was just the beginning of a new chapter of independence, resilience, and flourishing. When we returned for a recent visit, we were deeply encouraged to see how the seeds planted during our eight-year journey together are continuing to bear fruit.
Here are just a few glimpses into the lives of the people who make Kiu such a remarkable place…
