Introduction to Nakuru ....
Nakuru has a population of approximatley 300,000 people. It lies 160km to the north west of Nairobi and is the fourth largest town in Kenya.
The town is a busy commercial centre and is particularly known for its National Park and the abundance of flamingoes that surround the edges of Lake Nakuru.
Molo Feeding Program
The Church in Molo has recognised a significant need in the local community to feed and educate local children who are either living on the street or have significant relational issues at home. With this in mind, over the years it has sort to feed and provide basic education opportunities for those young people who may be falling through the cracks of society.
Led by Pastor Leonard and his wife Mary the Church in Molo is seeking to feed significant numbers of children in the town and in the surrounding rural area. They have built a kitchen facility at the back of the church to assist them in fulfilling their calling to reach out to the vulnerable and poor.
Kamwaura School
The school at Kamwaura provides excellent education to the local rural communities.
It has been recognised by the government as an excellent academic facility and provides much needed education and employment opportunities for the local population.
Facilities are basic but the children are encouraged to work hard and equipped for ongoing, life long learning.

Medical Centre
The medical Centre in Dundori is run by Pastor Gideon who is a qualified GP and supported by the church at Dundori and the Great Commission Trust in the UK.
The centre seeks to provide affordable healthcare to local residents who would otherwise have to travel significant distances to reach professional healthcare facilities and often be expected to pay fees that are unrealistic.
The facilitates have grown significantly over the years and it now provides a superb facility for the people of Dundori.
