Friends of Jitokeze
Friends of Jitokeze
Our newest mission group, Friends of Jitokeze, works in tandem with the Friends of Jitokeze International here in the US, as well as Jitokeze Wamama Wafrika in West Pekot Kenya, a sub-Saharan region drastically affected by climate change. The organization of JMM was founded by Pini Kidulah, with the vision of helping marginalized women improve their economic and social conditions, and of learning to live and work sustainably. The blossoming, development, and expansion of Pini’s vision has been incredible, with a sand dam already built for water retention, sustainable crops planted, and the construction of a dormitory office complex currently underway. We came to know Pini when she was in the United States working towards her Master’s in Economic Development at nearby Eastern University. Pini attended CBC, shared her vision, became a member of our congregation, and the rest, as they say, is history (in the making)! With CBCers as the catalyst, Friends of Jitokeze International was launched and is the non-profit (401c3) that works in support of this mission.
