A parable for Kenya

Even after walking 50 miles to find his nomadic family during school breaks, one determined student persevered and earned scholarships abroad. He returned to his Kenyan village, where basic health care and clean water remain out of reach for many. Inspired by a parable of shared strengths, he is leading efforts to bring education, clinics, and infrastructure to his region. His vision combines local knowledge and outside support to help communities help themselves.
