ADOPT A VILLAGE
A UMR signature project in wajir county, Kenya
WHAT's Adopt a village?
When the UMR team landed in Kenya, they knew they had a long way to go in rebuilding communities. Wajir was identified as its top priority when the team personally visited the four villages that constitute Wajir County.
UMR proposed its signature project, Adopt a Village (AVP) to assume responsibility in improving and stabilizing the living conditions of four villages in Wajir County: Bulla Elmi, Bulla Abdiaziz I, Bulla Abdiaziz II, & Bulla Hariri. Through our support, the residents of these villages will gain access to safe housing, basic health services, educational opportunities and improved economic prospects.
