Today we had a WhatsApp video call with Machaa and his wife Grace. Machaa and Grace seemed in good spirits as we chatted and are very grateful that they are safe. We are also grateful that no additional loss of life is reported.
The rains continue though there has been some sunshine. The forecast is for better weather soon. The situation in Kijabe is muddy to say the least. The paved road from the escarpment to Kijabe has lost a lot of its tarmac but is navigable. The dirt road from Kijabe down to the valley where Machaa and family live, is completely impassable. They now walk from the valley to work in Kijabe each day. For those of you who have been there that is no small feat.We are often astounded by the resilience of the Kenyan people.
We are waiting until the weather improves to do a final assessment of the damage to Little Lambs grounds. We know we lost some fence posts to erosion and the gravel road to our grounds will need significant repair.
Please continue to pray for the families devastated by recent events. Also pray that the weather clears and meaningful progress can be made on clean up efforts.
We will keep you posted. If you would like to assist with the clean up financially you can make a onetime gift by clicking this GIVE button.

Some silt and water made in under one of the bay doors at KPG. Michael is working to clear the mess.
