Building Community
Most of our stories come from our 3 HARAMBEE-sponsored women’s projects in Kenya:
(1) Upendo Village, a health clinic run by Sister Florence, a Kenyan nun (educated at Loyola University in Chicago). A woman may walk for two days with a child on her back to reach the clinic.
(2) Mukuru, a major slum outside of Nairobi, with 300,000 people, no streets, no sanitary facilities, no electricity or or running water.
(3) Lea Toto clinics, children's health centers located in several Nairobi sluma. They are part of a larger organization serving children who are HIV+, founded by Jesuit physician Father Angelo D'Agostino www.Nyumbani.org) .
