Community Development and Virtues Are Growing

By Bibiana Andabwa | Project Leader

Virtues Training at CPDA

Community Development and Virtues for Kenya is thriving. Our Virtues Groups remain committed and initiate their activities and networking among themselves. Meetings are orderly and guided by the Virtues. Interactions among group members steadily improve through Speaking the Language of Virtues. Our Community Development Center is a hub of activity, hosting many of the virtues group meetings and virtues training.

While virtues continue to spread in Kakamega County, we enthusiastically announce that The Virtues Project has now been introduced into Vihiga County, following the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement with Christian Partners Development Agency (CPDA), on the 7th April 2018, we held a training at their office. CPDA's vision is to share the program throughout the whole county. As a result, the executive director invited participants from each sub-county to this training, including community leaders, teachers, police officers, administrators and a member of parliament. Some university students also attended the training.

After of the training, we introduced some of the income generating projects that we will carry out with Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST). Our other trained groups are very actively involved in Table Banking and news of this project was most welcome. On display, was MMUST-MUG, porridge flour made from wimbi and mushroom. We are working diligently with MMUST on a Virtues Kenya Community Service and Training Program which is already at an advanced stage. This will see communities plant mushrooms, spirulina, beekeeping and other programs.

We want to thank the virtues community and all of our donors for supporting the Community Development for Kenya project, and ultimately our community. We see firsthand and want to share with you how thankful we are for the positive impacts that we are all experiencing. With your continued support, the help of our collaborators, and our income generating projects, Community Development and Virtues Are Growing in Kenya!
