This photo essay features the teachers and children of the Morokoshi Preschool, near Nakuru, Kenya. SpanAfrica volunteers Grace Proctor helped the local women organize to form the Nina Agricultural Initiative. SpanAfrica volunteers Kai Staats and Chris Emmel worked with Steve to upgrade a solar PV array and with the women of the Nina Initiative to build a green house in order to expand their growing season.
The Nina Agricultural Initiative was established in 2009 to assist women with the knowledge and skills required to raise crops, grow vegetables, and to sell hand-made goods. The Kikuyu spiritual (singing) commemorates and celebrates the first meeting of the Nina Initiative in which the officers were elected that day.
