A few days ago, Kenya’s president closed both the schools and the country’s border to limit the spread of Covid-19. Therefore, both of our learning centers are closed for an undetermined amount of time until schools reopen.
We wanted you to know that we have been closely monitoring this situation and have taken the following steps in response:
Money normally used to buy food for our lunch program is being used to buy bulk staples that are being distributed to the families of the children we serve.
All staff will continue to be paid for the duration of the closure.
Teaching staff are developing educational tools that will be distributed to the children for use at home.
The mission trip to Kenya that was scheduled for April, has been cancelled. A new date will be set once travel bans are lifted.
