Kisii, Kipsigis, Luo, Ruias
In the West of Kenya live the Kisii, Kipsigis, Luo and Ruias peoples. They originally originated from Egypt and most of them are agro and livestock farmers. Livestock remains part of dowry payments. Milk is a staple, as well as tea which is grown privately and on large, long established plantations dating back to colonial days. Men inherit land; women do not. Men clear the land and build fences and homes. Women are responsible for raising the kids, running the house and sometimes holding the only paying job. Men often feel a certain sense of entitlement, because men are seen as holding the preeminent position of protector. These groups have a lot of street children. Kids that cannot be cared for, end up on the streets drinking and smoking.
Key Leader
Kefa Moirore
Our Kenyan leader who grew up in poverty, entered the world of business at a young age to support himself. He started by selling tea and later expanded into selling paraffin. After Jesus changed him completely, he became a pastor and joined All Nations in 2015, learning important business and life lessons. Kefa has become a trainer of trainers in Pioneer Business Planting and church planting while supporting local businesses, and helping street children.
Our leader Kefa Moirore has worked among the street children for many years. He has taken several in his home, discipled them and gave them a job. With his team they planted around 54 churches among street kids, their families and the people around them.
Kefa is running a bakery, together with several of the street children that supply to more than 200 customers in the area delicious donuts. Since 2020, Kefa and his team, consisting of Lamec, Finley and Alloys, have trained hundreds of people in Pioneer Business Planting. Many businesses have been started like a barbershop, chicken shop, farming among many others. They have raised up 10 trainers that are training others.
