James Nyagudi, a retired bursar and Anglican lay reader, is one of a group in another part of Bondo District who formed a Self-Help Group in 2002 for widows and orphans. Many children lost both parents to AIDS and are dependent on grandmothers. Often the grandmother is a widow, scraping a living from a small plot of land with many mouths to feed. Each Saturday the Group takes responsibility for the orphans: they meet in the mud-walled, tin-roofed Anglican church for food, games and educational activities, giving their carers a break. Now they have started to construct their own building and want to provide more support for the widows, and training for their volunteers. They are asking approx. £8,300 for the building and £5, 600 for the rest. 15p would buy one brick for the building. £72 would equip a girls’ netball team with uniforms. These 2 groups have so far supported their projects only with their own money and small donations from The Bondo Fund. They have explained their needs and itemized the costs in detailed Project Proposals. What is ?

Janet and James have been family friends sinc e they first met my parents. After I retired from parish ministry I visited their homes in Kenya in 200 3, 2006, 2007 & 2009, and saw the work they wer e doing.
