Mikinduri Children of Hope's photostream

Mikinduri is a small, poor, remote Kenyan village in eastern Africa. The people have little opportunity for work, except as labourers on small farms. Like most African countries, Kenya is plagued with the effects of disease and insufficient food. Some of the children cannot afford school fees, which prevents then from getting an education. Their future is bleak. This village of kind, hard working, gentle people desperately need outside help.

Despite their challenges, the people of Mikinduri are determined to make a better life for themselves and their children. Many are active in their community and have developed several projects with which we are attempting to assist them.

Mikinduri Children of Hope is a dedicated group of volunteers based in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada. It was initiated in 2003 By Makena Ambassa who was born near Mikinduri and now lives in PEI.
