From Africa Quaker Vision’s report, “This is a well coordinated group of energetic women. The project is in the large scale farming area of Kitale. The project is already being carried out, but due to lack of proper financial records, it is clear they need training on book keeping. The group size needs to be increased in order to make a significant development impact in the community. However, the group truly impressed us with their determination and focus. They are committed Quaker women well known in the community.
