Location: Maasailand, Naikarra, Ngoswani and the Maasai Mara, Kenya, East Africa.

In 2016, it will be our 20th year of ministry in Kenya, East Africa. Our beginning lead us to the wilderness areas of Maasailand, Naikarra, Ngoswani and the Maasai Mara. In these outlying areas, changes come slowly.

The sewing ministry growth has been more prominent near the city areas, Nairobi and Nakuru. The growth of Threads of hope in Kenya has encouraged those in the remote villages to have HOPE for their own sewing projects.

We now have the greatest opportunity to erect a sewing center – Co-op building on a Maasai Project in Ngoswani, a 100 acre demonstration plot where our Maasai Partners donated 2-1/2 acres to us to construct this outreach.

This project is to teach new skills to be able to survive in the future on smaller tracts of land. The Maasai have prayerfully asked us to build this Center on the front of the property facing the main road where tourist will be able to see and stop to purchase goods the women/widows make. A blessing that will make this a sustainable project for generations to come. There are 10 widows wanting to start. An African lady named Agatha, a skilled sewer is willing to lead this Center. She currently has her own sewing shop in Narok, one hour away and is willing to move to this location to train in sewing and business skills. Agatha’s husband is skilled in computers. This project has all the potential to be very fruitful by ministering and training many for miles around. They will come from far distant villages and take these skills back for others to learn.
