Pure Gold

Olgulului Women - Amboseli, Kenya

A Friend

A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall
Do not expect to just take and hold
Give friendship back, it is pure gold.

Thank you sister-friends for standing in the gap for our stoic, resilient and hardworking Olgulului sisters/Nalepo Women Self-help Group. Your generous contributions have helped the women mitigate against drought through farming -- positioning their families and community for a food secure future. Indeed, we are our sister's keeper.

Gratitude abounds, friends! #Chebet #Wanjiru #Symphorosa #Wairimu #Dora #Rachel #Emma
