A Herd of Buffalo

February 4, 2021

A herd of new Buffalo bicycles arrived in Kakuma this week!

Thanks to our generous financial partners, we were able to supply our refugee church partners with these new bicycles this month. Kakuma refugee camp is huge (12 square miles) and neighboring Kalobeyei refugee settlement has made it even bigger. Getting around is slow and tough - especially so when the weather is harsh (i.e. extreme heat, high winds, torrential rains, etc.). By supplying pastors and Christian leaders with bicycles, we are helping them better serve their community - and thereby strengthening faith, hope and resilience s in the camp.
