Thank you to the Rotary Club of Maroubra

On the 19th of January 2009, Wycliffe Owiti and Sheila Matete-Owiti were invited as guest speaekrs at the Rotary Club of Maroubra. Sheila presented the vision and mission of Piye Inc.. The aim of Piye Inc. is to empower community groups in Kenya to break the cycle of ill health, poverty and hunger.

The first Piye project is at Ongeche Villiage. The Ongeche project is a multi-faceted project involving health, education, and economic stability.

One aspect of the project involves a series of income generating activities. The Ongeche community identified the need to develop a goats project that can provide milk to address malnutrition, while increasing the economic capacity of the community as a whole through breeding.

The project will involve purchasing ten goats, constructing a goat shed, purchasing goat feed and veterinary services. Construction of the goat shed is due to begin in August 2009, after the rainy season. The goats project is managed by members of the Ongeche community board.

The Ongeche Community and Piye Inc. would like to give special thanks to the Rotary Club of Maroubra for their recent donation of $3,200 towards the Ongeche Village Goats Project.

Updates on the Ongeche Villiage Goats Project will be posted under the News section of our website.
