WHAT'S NEW IN KENYA

Thanks to an IT student at Meru University, there’s a new web site for Tumaini Children’s Ministry in Nyeri, Kenya. It will soon be ready for everyone to see what Rev. Ed Danks, a former pastor of Noroton Presbyterian Church in Darien, Connecticut, started 25 years ago.

And the 500 preschool and primary school students at the new Rossholme Education Centre in Kiambiu slum in Nairobi are enjoying their new classrooms. Click here for photos of the "New" School. Thanks to a new supporter, the computer room will soon have more computers and then more classes will be taught there.

Please visit aflik.org to donate to help with teachers’ salaries, and for food and books for the students during this first term of the 2026 school year.

WHO WE ARE

We are self-supported missioners – and we thank the people who have rented our Roton Point unit and our home for the past twenty summers. They made it possible for us to spend a lot of time living in Kenya, visiting friends and seeing students in Nairobi, Kitale, Nyeri and Meru, who being supported by many friends here in CT.

Many of our young friends in Kenya were in high school when we met them. We helped them to attend colleges - and now we’re helping some of their children to go to school – since schools are not free and good paying jobs are very difficult to find.
