I bought my first backpack in Junior High and I was inspired by its name and ready to summit every mountain. It was called “The
Kilimanjaro!”
I have never climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, but in a few weeks a friend of mine will, and he’s doing it to raise funds for a clinic for which I care deeply! In the Kisumu villages of Western Kenya, along Lake Victoria, some of Kenya’s poorest of the poor live with no clean water and no access to healthcare.
Kenya’s third-largest city … Kisumu has one of Kenya’s highest poverty levels and the worst set of health indicators according to Columbia University. 39% of Kenya’s population lives in this city!
His Healing Hands, a FAME partner, has just installed a solar-powered water well and water tower system in preparation for this clinic. The next step is to raise funds for this primary care clinic with will serve at least 200 people every day!
People who have NO OTHER access to healthcare.
Mark Yeaton, a school teacher who has cycled over the Great Divide on a coast-to-coast ride, is my friend taking on Mt. Kilimanjaro’s 20,000-foot summit!
He’s climbing this mountain to “move a mountain-sized” project forward;
$20,000 toward a new clinic for the Kisumu people!
Gifts to EVERY STEP COUNTS will go toward this Kenya Clinic as part of the FAME Reeves Project Fund!
Can you give a gift equal to how much I spent on my first backpack? It was $50 in the 1970’s. It climbed a few mountains with me, not much impact really – but YOU can give $50 and it will help thousands of the world’s most vulnerable overcome mountain-sized problems in their lives…AND they will hear the good news of Jesus – the mountain mover! You can have a mountain-sized impact!
