Since 2014, we have partnered with local projects in Narok to help provide education; safe housing for girls escaping FGM and forced marriage; and accommodation for street children. When our work at Nkapilili School completed (a school which has successfully integrated disabled children into mainstream schooling), our main project will focussed on the work of Mission with a Vision, supporting girls who have fled FGM and early marriage as well as Fountain of Life, who work with street children and vulnerable women. We are in the final year of a 3-year build program.
Please note that the trip dates may vary a day either way due to flight availability.
Main Partner
Mission with a Vision
This is run by Patrick and Josephine Ngigi and is a home for 70 girls who have been rescued from female genital mutilation (FGM) and childhood marriage. (Take a look at their website www.missionwithavision.net ).
For the past few years Mission Direct has been helping them to develop their project by building additional accommodation, farm infrastructure and a training and advocacy centre. We will continue to visit the girls in their new home and support their many activities. Come and be impressed by these young dynamic women; hear their stories and be amazed at their determination to improve their lives. There will also be time to lend a hand on the farm.
Nkapililli School
Sister Clemencia is a Franciscan nun who has dedicated her life to helping disabled children who are often marginalised by society. She has been given some land and has started a small mainstream school with a special needs unit attached. The disabled children board at the school and the dorms have been changed by Mission Direct from very basic (metal sheets and mud floors) to stone built accommodation. Her vision is to run a school which will meet the needs of the disabled children offering them warmth and security and a place where they can learn. We will visit the school during your trip.
At the end of the trip we have an overnight trip to the Maasai Mara game reserve where we stay in raised safari tents with comfortable twin beds and thick blankets! The tents have en-suite facilities. There will be time to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
There is also an afternoon/evening trip to Maji Moto to enjoy the Loita Plains and experience some Maasai culture.
The teams in Kenya Narok have been doing an incredible job. Here are a few of the most recent stories and stats from the projects...

Orientation days and reunion days are included to help you get the most from your trip.
