In October 2024 Janet was joined by supporters from Canberra, Australia, and from Ireland.

On the trip

  • School visits: resources were delivered, and first-aid kits were given to Kakuyuni School for the Deaf.
  • The mangrove apiary: a site visit on the coast.
  • Laikipia: a consultation with Maasai women who want to start beekeeping. In 2025 the coast honey team came to train them. Read about beekeeping.
  • Mother & Baby: the community voted to fund maternity care themselves through a cattle project. Read what happened next.
  • The clinic: supporters saw the new delivery couch installed.
