    We want to assure all supporters of the Makindu Children’s Center that the children and staff are safe and that as of Jan 3rd the social unrest has not reached Makindu. Feel free to periodically check the web site for an update www.makindu.org.

    The center continues to provide support for nutrition, medical care and educational opportunities for 315 children with the expectation of serving 400 children by the end of 2008.
