Lango Baya Mission
Our Mission is:
To help village youth complete their education
To help the youth become self-reliant, contributing members of their communities in order to raise their families out of poverty.
Since 2008 we have been assisting orphans and their caregiver families with:
Educational support: School uniforms, school fees, school supplies
Agricultural training: Sustainable farming of maize, green grams, cassava
Community development projects: Water dispensing kiosks for income generation
Animal husbandry training: Goat breeding projects
Our youth are now graduating from college and returning to the villages to teach and assist their communities with a vision of self-reliance and self-determination. You can help us succeed in these villages by becoming a donor. We are thankful for the support of our donors who make all this work possible.
Lango Baya Mission provides agricultural training in methods that enhance yield, promote soil enrichment and sustainable cultivation from year to year.
Food distributions for families in serious need is accommodated through registration with our Village Coordinators who know the families and visit them regularly. We also distribute school uniforms which are required for school attendance in Kenya.
Our high school (secondary) students have been with us for several years and are progressing well toward a path that will take them to college and beyond. Perhaps for most, they will be the first member of their family who has gone past a high school education. We also have quite a few students in our program who are attending college or university. We have university students who are graduating each year with Bachelor's Degrees, which would not have been possible without your support. We also have college students studying Community Health and Development who indicate a desire to come to work for us when they complete their studies. We are very excited about working with them. Education is an essential element in promoting self-sufficiency within the families and communities in Kenya.
In addition to the above projects, we continue to provide school supplies and school books, especially reading books for elementary age children, which are sorely needed in the schools in Kenya. We have also provided medical clinics in the villages and motivational seminars for students during the periods of school breaks. We initiated and continue to support a tree planting project with the children in the villages to help restore the biodiversity that once existed in this region. And with a grant from Rotary Clubs International we constructed six water distribution kiosks in six villages to create greater access to water for the women and girls who must collect water each morning and evening and carry it to their huts. We do all this as part of our long term goal of promoting community development and self-reliance among the families who live in the Malindi District.
