Hawa Haji hand-rolling ceramic beads
for the Noor jewelry project.
The Somali women of the Noor Creations ceramic bead project have been busy preparing beads and Solidarity necklaces for us to bring to Canada this spring. No doubt, our suitcases will be brimming with beads!
Our friend James showing the latest batch of ceramic water filters. Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and churches, every member of the Iftin women's empowerment projects will be receiving ceramic water filter systems this year. These particular plastic systems filter and store six litres of drinking water using a ceramic candle filter produced at the Eastleigh Community Centre. The effectiveness and safety of the filtration systems are tested and approved by the Kenya department of health.

Early this week, we also hosted Joanne Moyer, a Canadian student carrying out doctoral research on Religious Non-governmental Organizations doing environmental and development work in Kenya. There is a remarkable number of Christian organizations and churches that are involved in both social and environmental development as part of holistic ministry.
