Covid-19 pandemic is having an effect around the world.
In March, our last trustees’ visit was cut short when countries around the world were going into lockdown and isolation measures were being put in place. Unfortunately, due to the present restrictions not only in the UK but throughout the world, we do not know yet when trustees will be able to visit Kenya again.
Colin was one of the founding trustees and has been visiting Kenya for over 20 years, with both “Wishing for a Well” and the Akamba Aid Fund. As a Managing Director of a heating engineering business, Colin brings his expertise to our water and construction projects.
