Their centre called the City of Hope has so far trained 3850 young women and girls who now are economicaly self reliant either thru employment or running their own bussinesses. The centre allows the young moithers to come with their little children and aday care centre and a kindergaten is run for the children while the mothers learn skills. TEMAK has a Clinic where all the mothers and girls are treated free and provides cauncelling, Spiritual nourishment, and social support to the girls. TEMAK has set up an internet www.afrikapamoja.org where all the crafts made by the young women already trained are sold. They also have two shops locally that sell the same. Poverty has been drastically reduced for hundreds of mothers thru this project.. At their setlight projects in the rural villages of Katolo and Budalangi, TEMAK, builds houses for elderly women, runs feeding programs for orphans, buys books and school supplies to orphans, has helped to build two primary schools and one secondary school while the community centres train hundreds of community members in Bee Keeping. Paultry, Dairy Goat keeping Dairy cow keeping which are replicated in the community to generate income. Early Childhood education, community libraries/ resource centres and various other trainings and programs geared towards poverty eradication have been put in place including tree nurseries, voluntary counselling and testing centres and clinics. I have never seen any organization that has fought poverty at the grassroot level like TEMAK. They deserve a pat in the back.

Those is an organisation that tackels thing related to HIV/AIDS in a unique way, first they Identify those infected and affected, guide them, counsel and offer them referrals where they can get medical attention, then they go ahead and teach them on nutrition and upkeep and finally, they know that this people need an income, hence income generating activities for those infected and affected by HIV. This has changed the lives of many people in such situations in Africa and I think most women in the rural Kenya are appreciating what jifahamu Kenya is doing. Your support to this organisation is wanting. Hello,
