Friends of Kenya has suspended grants for projects in Kenya until further notice. FOK has donated more than $50,000 in the last 20 years for local projects throughout Kenya that contributed to a community. The funds for these contributions have come from membership and individual contributions.

However, membership has declined and our funds for grant use has subsequently declined, resulting in this (hopefully) temporary suspension in granting funds for projects.

Should you wish to join Friends of Kenya, please go to the Membership section on this website for information. Should you wish to make a contribution to the project fund, please go to the Projects page. Your membership and contributions are most welcome.

Friends of Kenya currently is planning the program in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of Peace Corps Celebration, that will be held in Washington, D.C., the weekend of September 11, 2011. Should you be interested in helping with this event, contact Jensy at jensy@verizon.net.

Also, the current board of directors of Friends of Kenya, who meet monthly by telephone, is interested in finding a new cadre of RPCVs/Kenya to take over this organization. Should you or your group be interested in joining the board and be willing to carry on the work of Friends of Kenya, the official NPCA-recognized group, please contact Jensy.

Friends of Kenya, founded in the mid-80s, seeks to 'bring the world back home' by educating others about Kenya, provide a common community of returned Peace Corps volunteers who served in Kenya, and to contribute to the well-being of Kenyan citizens by funding community-wide projects throughout the country.
