Toilets Reduce Absentees for 200 Kenyan Students

After nearly two years of facing unavoidable and unpredictable challenges, we finally managed to embark on a successful field trip with NR Founder and President, Rob Bollinger; and Robbie Bollinger PA-C, the VP of NR and Executive Director of Medical Health Services. During our three-week venture together, we seized the opportunity to bring them up to speed on our progress and achievements in the field.

A pivotal aspect of our journey involved engaging with two potential community partners to dig deep into the intricacies of forging a collaboration between them and Nehemiah's Restoration. Over the course of several days, we meticulously discussed financial matters, assessed their current initiatives, and outlines the precise nature of our potential support. These sessions culminated in the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding, which is currently undergoing final revisions. Once polished, we will submit the document to them for official endorsement. 

While we were unable to pinpoint a specific location for our Build a Toilet initiative, due to the infancy of our relationship, securing the MOU signature will pave the way for us to select a suitable site for construction. We extend our gratitude for your steadfast support throughout this journey. Despite the prolonged anticipation, we are confident that the toilet facility, when constructed, will be a significant benefit to the communities with whom we are fostering these partnerships.

As we begin 2024, we are excited to continue our efforts to move forward with this project. Unfortunately political unrest and Covid got in the way last year and prevented us from making the critical trip to the field to finalize our relationship with two new community groups. As we have stated before, we intend to build community toilets in the geographical location where these groups are located and finalizing a relationship with them will solidify our ability to build in the area. In April, we will finally be making the trip to the field. We would ask that you pray that nothing gets in the way of this trip from finally happening and that the Lord would bless the work we plan to accomplish during it!
