Friends Missions in Africa

• Turkana Friends Mission: Works with the Turkana community in Northern Kenya to provide improved educational, health, community, and children's services since its founding in 1970, and its formal registration in 1972. On a limited budget they sponsor four primary, seven nursery schools and the Turkana Children's Home - an orphanage located in the town of Kalokol. Website: www.fum.org/worldmissions/turkana.html
• Samburu Friends Mission: Although feeding peoples' spirits is the ultimate goal of the Samburu mission in central Kenya, it also ministers to their day-to-day needs. In addition to education and worship, the mission provides the services of a veterinarian to care for the cattle of this cattle-herding people. Plans are under way to build a centre in the nearby town of Maralal where people could meet for school, worship, other gatherings, and to be used for a guest house.
