About Mugaa
The name, Mugaa, was derived from the indigenous acacia tree. These trees survive in arid and semi-arid areas. People came from different forest areas and settled in this place. They cleared the forest and started farming.
Mugaa is located in a hilly terrain. It is primarily a farming community, with the main crops being maize, beans and potatoes. In good seasons, there will be adequate rainfall to produce a good harvest. Community members also raise livestock for their livelihood.
Because of its topography, most people have to walk to access a large part of the community. It is difficult to use motorized vehicles across this community. Most families own donkeys to help their transport water, firewood and produce.
Mugaa has partnered with 410 Bridge since 2020. Their major languages are Kikuyu, Swahili, and English.

Why Come on a Mission Trip to Kenya?
A mission trip is not just a one-week experience to check a box. An intentional mission trip that is outcome-driven provides an opportunity to bring out Philippians 2:2-11 for the restoration of dignity and fulfilling purpose so that people can walk in freedom.
A mission trip, The 410 Way, is a catalyst that can propel us into action by changing our perspective of how we view the world, how we view our world.
