Kenya’s political system continues to make headlines—most recently due to the call of the country’s woman to abstain from sex with their husbands in protest to the deadlocked power sharing agreement between the President and Prime Minister (Footnote A). In a move to help save the country from violence witnessed after the late-2007 elections, Women activist groups in April were pleading to the wives of the President and Prime Minister to abstain from sex until improvements within the power sharing agreement were made. (Footnote B)

More than 1,500 people died and 300,000 were forced to flee from their homes following the disputed election (Footnote C). The residual effects of the violence remain: the Kenya Team in 2009 drove past some of the refugee camps, and the team assisted Mary in cleaning out a wound one gentleman received on his leg. There are many needs in Kenya – David’s Hope International is beginning with the Morgan House initiative—to turn an old British farmhouse into a working and sustainable orphanage—enabling the children in Eburru who have no home, to thrive with food and an education, and not just survive on the streets without hope for the future.
