Massimo Salvato and Gabi Palmer on the ResponsABLE assistance’s Fursafreetrade stall at the Craft and Food market in Belle Vue Park Newport last Sunday.
Sales from Fursafreetrade support the Fursa initiative’s continuation and development.
Since water was first located and tested as safe for domestic use at a depth of 200 meters last November in Ngulu we have been busy planning to filter the water so if it is safe for drinking and irrigation.
We now know the exact funding requirement for the solar powered installation to pump, filter and distribute the water fairly to improve the health and wellbeing of local communities. Irrigation to grow fruit, vegetables and crops and clean drinking water will improve the lives and elevate poverty for many Makueni Count citizens in drought stricken Makueni County in rural Kenya.
We are seeking donations and funding partners so please contact us to find out how you can support and work with us.
Fursa initiative coordinator Dr Cecilia Nyaga and Josemari Nyagah joined us in Wales where we took part in interactive presentations in Schools, Community Centres, University of South Wales Newport campus and clubs.
We had to change the format of our Sharing Cultural Diversity presentations due to UK Visas having not been issued to some of our guests from Kenya.
Fursa initiative coordinator Dr Cecilia Nyagah, accompanied by Josemarie, talked about their lives, cultural activities, the economic realities of disabled people in rural Kenya and showing arts and crafts they produce.
The interactive presentations featured a video filmed on location in Makueni County and presentations from ResponsABLE assistance founder Trevor Palmer.
Our Sharing Cultural Diversity project was part funded by Newport City Council’s Arts and Culture, Heritage and Sports Grant scheme.
