Earlier this year, my wife and I visited our work in Kenya
and received update after update from individuals who for the first time ever
were able to feed their families, and were also learning to save for the
future. Their children were going to school, and they were learning about
preventative health and sanitation interventions that were reducing the
incidence of illness in their homes. So much has happened since this was just an idea being talked about. In 2012, nearly 3000 families were benefitting from
Nuru’s programs, and we even began laying groundwork for starting an initiative
in a second country.
I’m deeply grateful for what we have been able to do
together over these last few years, and I’m excited by the prospect of
accomplishing even more together in the future. It has been inspiring for me to
have so many friends join us in this work by donating, sharing Nuru’s story,
and inviting others to get involved with this work.
In 2013, Nuru is preparing to expand programs to 1750 new
families which will mean even more people in southwestern Kenya being equipped
with the tools and knowledge to lead their communities out of extreme poverty
for good. As 2012 approaches its end, a very generous donor has stepped up to
match dollar-for-dollar every donation that is received during the month of
December, up to $100,000. There are less
than 96 hours left to take advantage of the opportunity, will you help us hit our goal?
Thanks so much for being Nuru!
