Jane Wairimu Mwaura
Guardians of Hope Project Maai-Mahiu, Kenya
One of the five pillars of the Guardians of Hope program is strengthening caregivers through sustainable incomes. An important part of this aspect of the GOH is training and support on savings, financial management, micro enterprise development and micro credit.

Jane Mwaura is a Guardian of Hope from Longonot Town, near Maai Mahiu, in the great Rift Valley. An arid and wind swept part of Kenya, much of the Rift Valley struggles with perpetual draught making agriculture difficult. Through the help of the GOH, Jane provides for Samuel and James, two AIDS orphans left in her care. Over the past five years, Jane has accessed micro loans of 10,000 Kenyan Shillings to build her business of collecting, dressing and selling pumice stone to merchants in Nairobi. On Monday, we visited Jane at her little store house where see sells her white and black pumice. This past weekend she sold an entire truck load of the textured rock to a company from the city.
On behalf of Jane, we share her greeting to all those supporting the ministry of the Guardians of Hope -- "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! And God bless you!"
