I am Board member of a wonderful organization that does humanitarian work in Kenya- American Friends of Kenya.
We focus on listening to what Kenyans need to help themselves. Usually a lot of NFP want to tackle AIDS or Malaria or one disease when really the overall Public Health system needs to improve.
We send medical supplies and training materials for doctors and nurses. We do one trip a year where volunteer nurses and doctors train and work "hands on" at clinics and hospitals in rural Kenya.
We also ship thousands of books, fund uniforms and shoes for children to be able to get an education.
Some of our goals now are: creating programs for orphanages to empower these kids and give them love, confidence and courage, creating a library that would serve over 900,000 people, expanding our organization across the US, and more.
Our next volunteer trip is July 2008.
Interested in helping?
Please contact me or for more information go to www.afkinc.org.
Thanks!

I lived in Kenya up till June of final 365 days and have lived there on and rancid for the previous 6 years. i think of that the western media has vastly overplayed what's happening in the country and which you've got relatively NO issue traveling Kenya and going to the Mara for safari. I nonetheless have many pals in Nairobi I communicate with often, and that all of them record that till you reside in specific slums in the city, each little thing has decrease back to widely used, different than that there are extra bar night fundraisers and paintings adventure fundraisers and issues like that to assist out the displaced people. Kofi Annan additionally stated on the instant that he thinks that a potential-sharing contract will take place quickly, which could in actuality end the violence that does stay. quickly, sure, you'll be risk-free.
