Why Kenya?
Why Kenya?
The wealth gap in Kenya, as in many other parts of Africa is almost unimaginable. The rural areas outside of Nairobi are some of the poorest areas in the world. Water and food are scarce, education is often expensive, future prospects and life expectancy are low. For the majority of people, many of whom are young orphans and widows, life is a day to day struggle for survival.
