🏢 About the local organisation
Nyalunya Community Development Group is a community-based organization, which was formed in the year 2006 and officially registered in 2008 with the Kenya Government under the Ministry of Gender, Children, Sports and Social Services. Nyalunya, situated in Nyando district, is about 380 km from Nairobi. It was initiated by a group of women who came up with the idea of bringing together the community members with the aim of improving their welfare and living standards of the local community. The group has a kindergarten school, which hosts 20 children, who are either orphans or from a poor family background. The project thus aims at empowering children with the basic knowledge to enable them to join public schools from class one. The group is also involved in farming in order to raise fund to sustain the project as well as HIV/AIDS campaigns and home based care.
