Mission

Village Voices International empowers marginalized people in rural Kenyan villages by providing the technical and development resources necessary for them to implement and sustain community-led initiatives designed to promote self-sufficiency and build community resilience.

  • A reverse osmosis system is the only option for this village to obtain safe drinking water. In 2020, mechanical upgrades were implemented at the borehole site to improve the pumping mechanism from the aquafor, 2 miles of piping was installed from the borehole to the distribution site, a water treatment house/storage unit was constructed and a reserve osmosis (RO) unit was fabricated and delivered to the Kailer village site in early 2021. The RO system was installed and final payments were made to the vendors upon successful completion of this phase of the water project in 2021. In 2022 a solar powered pumping station was installed at the treatment house to provide a means of filling a water bowser for delivery to the village water tanks.

    Expenses $17,200

  • Four additional acre kitchen gardens were installed in late 2020 in Kailer village. Delay in obtaining labor and supplies including construction of farm ponds, fencing to protect crops, water storage tanks and micro-irrigation drip kits occured due to covid-19. Completion was delayed until 2021 at which time final payments were made upon successful completion. The kitchen garden system ponds allows for water harvesting versus sole reliance on rain-fed agriculture. Women are learning to implement various dry farming methods and drought resistant crop selection. Not only have the gardens provided a variety of nutritious vegetables and fruits for the table and for medicinal use, but yields have been large enough to share with neighbors, widows and the elderly. Excess produce is being sold at market to pay for childrens school fees. Because of the efforts undertaken in prior years, we are now able to provide safe water to 60% of the villagers.

    Expenses $8,072

  • Other program accomplishments include paying tuition and board for a student to attend her 3rd year in the Community Health Assistant program at the Kenya Medical Training College, and paying tuition, board and fees for two students attending their 2nd year of skills training (electrician and plumber) at the Kenyan Industrial Training Institute.

    Expenses $1,925

  • Kitchen garden ponds were repaired and secured with fencing. Two ponds were filled with commercial water to sustain the farms during the drought.

    Expenses $1,047

On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
