  • The Children and Youth Empowerment Centre (CYEC), Nyeri
    The Children and Youth Empowerment Centre (CYEC), Nyeri. The Centre is located approximately 175 kilometers north of Nairobi on the outskirts of Nyeri town, the administrative headquarters of both Nyeri East District and Kenya’s Central Province. CYEC is an initiative of the national program for street dwelling persons and is intended to play a central role in the innovation of holistic and sustainable solutions for the population of street dwelling young people in Kenya. The Pennsylvania State University has been involved with the CYEC since 2009. Students from both the Berks and Main campuses of Penn State have focused on areas including bio-medical engineering, architectural engineering, teaching/literacy, and agriculture to help the CYEC. At the Center we have participated in constructing a green house, a drip irrigation center, creating books for the children, conducting various types of research, and much more. In 2010 the CYEC asked if Penn State would focus on the creation of an Eco-Village in Lamuria, a sustainable and eco-friendly village where the street children could go once they have reached adulthood to work and participate in a community environment and economy. Under the direction of Janelle Larson and Sjoerd Duiker, the 497C Agricultural Systems in East Africa class was The undeveloped Eco-Village site created at the Main campus. Our class consisted of only (2010) six students (five of whom were able to travel to Kenya) and met once every other Friday for two hours. This specific course focused on conducting research on agricultural production in semi-arid regions of east Africa, culminating with an opportunity for application through on-site assessment work in Kenya.

  • PROVIDING INTERNATIONAL RETINAL CARE AS an EXPATRIATE Advancing Retinal Care in Western Kenya As a Full-Time Missionary
    GLOBAL RETINA THE LONG GAME: PROVIDING INTERNATIONAL RETINAL CARE AS AN EXPATRIATE Advancing retinal care in western Kenya as a full-time missionary. BY BENJAMIN J.

But, mind throughout his training. With a shared interest by definition, such individual outreaches in international medical missions, they were seeking cannot provide the extended follow-up an opportunity that allowed their training to meet necessary to address recurrent or chronic a specific need. The lack of full-time ophthalmology disease, fully quantify long-term outcomes, services at Tenwek provided just such an opportunity, or provide extensive fellowship-styled surgical education. As and, subsequently, Dr. Roberts finished his fellowship and we consider the advancement of international surgical retina moved his family to Kenya for their first 4-year term. care across all fronts, how do we fill these particular gaps? Numerous complementary solutions exist to help provide the long-term engagement necessary to develop comprehensive retinal services. These include undertaking recurrent trips to the same location, offering Dossier: •Bomet teleconsultation and telementorship programs, and Bomet, Kenya promoting short- and long-term fellowship training and observership (in US-based programs) for physicians from underserved areas. There is another, simpler strategy, though Located in the former Rift Valley Province, it requires a high degree of commitment: move to a place of the main economic industries of Bomet need and stay there.

Lewis Clark University/NEHSS with assistance 7r)m G. Kamau/NEHSS aid R.C. Cheruiyot/NEHSS September, 1982 Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, ETMA Program (AID/afr-C-1697) and The Government of Kenya OBJECTIVES This pilot study, begun in July, 1981, is the first stage in developing a methodology to provide basic information on soil erosion to planners, district officials and operating ministries in Kenya. The results of this programme will provide some of the crucial environmental data that will help NES to exe­ cute its mandate to monitor the state of the national environment. The speci­ fic objectives of the Erosional Monitoring Programme are to: - develop a methodology that can rapidly be applied and used in the diverse environmental settings found throughout Kenya; - quantify the amount of erosion occurring in rural areas; - identify the general rural environmental settings in which erosion is a major problem; - develop a simulation technique to determine if proposed activities will be deleterious to the existing land resource base, and, if so, what changes in land use plans might be suggested to minimize negative impact; and, - this should help the NEHSS to suggest priorities for remedial action and appropriate strategies to use. As one intent of the Secretariat is to make this infcrmation available to any ministry concerned with ameliorating land degradation; the data provided will be in a format that can be utilized in designing general safe criteria for land use planning as well as for legislative purposes.
